Tips for talking to kids about drugs

Parents looking for help talking to their kids about drugs can find tips on a new Web site (www.theantidrug.com). Developed by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, the site suggests:

*Establish "together time."

*Eat meals together as often as you can.

*Encourage your children to feel comfortable telling you about problems they have.

*Don't be afraid to ask where your kids are going, who they'll be with, and what they'll be doing.

*Have family meetings.
