The Parents' Campaign is targeted at parents of pre-teens who live in Edinburgh & the Lothians. Although the snap-fax leaflet, 'A little guide to making a big difference' isn't available to parents outside these areas, this website provides exactly the same information. If you do want to get a copy of the snap-fax leaflet and live in Edinburgh & the Lothians, click on the 'Pick up a leaflet' section for further details.
Research shows that spending more time doing everyday things with your kids now will make them far less likely to take risks with drink, drugs and sex when they become teenagers. Click on indoor/outdoor activities for lots of ideas of things to do together.
Go to their sports days at school, learn about their hobbies, be enthusiastic about their achievements, even the little ones. Ask them questions that show you care and want to know what’s going on in their lives.
Spend time with your kids doing things that suit their ages and interests, as shared experiences build affection and trust. This strong foundation will be a good starting point for communication when they’re older about ‘tricky’ topics like sex, relationships, alcohol and drugs.
