In the modern world, smoking is one of the most common problems among young people. Teenagers often try to look like adults, and therefore smoke, swear, drink and even turn to drugs. Sometimes it is very difficult for parents to notice this, and even to eradicate bad habits in their beloved offspring is completely unrealistic.
Instructions
Step 1
Please note that most smokers earn this bad habit during their teens. According to statistics, the decision to take a cigarette is influenced by the people around the child. The fact is that it is difficult not to repeat after parents, relatives, friends and acquaintances. So it is better to initially think about your future baby.
Step 2
If trouble has not been avoided, it is necessary to find a way that will help the teenager to quit smoking. First, you, as a parent, have control over your child's pocket money. Of course, a teenager can cut his expenses in one place and carve out the necessary funds for cigarettes. In this case, you can completely take control of his financial expenses. However, deciding on such a crucial step, do not forget that the teenager may find another way to get money. Perhaps it will be even worse …
Step 3
Another fairly common way to wean a child off a cigarette is moral support. Here we are not talking about all kinds of conversations and advice, admonitions and intimidation, which talks about the dangers of smoking. Do not think that young people are unaware of the consequences. In the place of parents, it is better to provide psychological assistance to your child. Perhaps he had some self-doubt, problems. Try to build trust in your teenager.
Step 4
The position "he will throw himself" is erroneous. Of course, there are times when a teenager just grows up and understands his delusions. However, many remain heavy smokers, and it is not at all impossible to quit. So don't run into this problem.
Step 5
And more - even if your child claims that he only needs one cigarette a day, do not relax. Much more important is how often he turns to tobacco smoke. If this has become a habit, then he will continue to smoke, even if one cigarette a day, but throughout his life.
