Now is the right time to increase your awareness of the messages your child is receiving about cannabis, the impacts on your child, and how you can form the messages you send moving forward to promote responsible, healthy choices. Peer pressure to try cannabis does not usually start until ages 15-19. Yet, children receive messages and view modeling throughout their childhood that will have a direct impact on whether or not they’ll be ready to make responsible decisions about cannabis in future years. As a parent or those in a parenting role, what you model and the messages you send in your child’s early years related to cannabis can prepare them for healthy choices and success as they grow.
