How to Talk to your Child about Steroids
How to Talk to your Child about Steroids
It is always a confusing and upsetting stage for parents to talk to their kids about steroids. But in my opinion, it is more difficult to find out or to get clues and realize that kids have been indulged in the usage of steroids or any other illegal drug. Even if you suspect them of this activity (I think I should call it an offence), you do not know how to deal with them effectively. Entire situation becomes alarming when you see that the ratio of steroids users, especially among youngsters, is increasing day by day and your child is also a victim.
To identify the problem, you need to identify the signs and symptoms so that you can have solid grounds to stand on. The kids will never accept their fault as they are usually entrapped in the wishful thinking and wrong conceptions. Parents should educate themselves and have complete understanding of the whole scenario. The most common sign of steroid abuse is the sudden muscle growth and power enhancement. The desire to show off your power is another sign though it comes at surface a bit later but it brings with it a lot of other behavioral complications. Acne on back and face is another important indication but commonly it is associated with hormonal changes that usually occur during puberty. Lastly, the remains of the drugs like wrappers, syringes or used injections are huge indicators but they are usually hidden by children.
Parents should always keep an eye on their kids and have friendly relations with them so that there would be no gap between them. In this way they can control the problem from the very beginning and guide their kids to the right direction. You should be familiar with your child’s interests and his concerns. It is the best possible way to protect your child from hazards of steroids. Internet has made the exposure and accessibility to steroids easy and quick. Steroids manufacturers present short term advantages and neglect to portray the true picture of these drugs. If they have been exposed the true reality of steroids, their business would have been collapsed. So it is the duty of parents to give a true understanding to their kids.
Parents should be very realistic and try to convince their children about the drawbacks of steroids and other drugs. They should show their love and deep concerns about the health of their kids. They should force them to have urine test so that you can consult your doctor to handle the problem. Kids normally hesitate and do not become ready. It is parents’ duty to save their children from being potentially damaged, but this is perhaps not very easy at this stage. In some cases, this open talk has negative results but you should not lose heart and keep on reminding them that it is a cheat and they will be guilty for it. In some cases you have to become strict and in some other cases, lenient behavior works well. There is no hard and fast rule to deal with this problem. You have to decide it that what approach can be more fruitful in your child’s case that can overcome this problem.
