Drugs and Alcohol in Families

This video was very surprising, I always knew that drugs were a problem but I didn't know meth was the leading one.  The effects on a child living in a home with meth users or even just drug users is so detrimental a child growing up.  As a teacher I would try to help by paying close attention when I meet with parents and if they seem a little off I would take further action.  Also by speaking with the child, seeing if everything is going well at home and what they like to do when they are there. A child who is being abuse also shows different qualities than a child who is not, so that would also be an indicator that something may be wrong.  So basically just by being aware and knowing that it does happen and could be happening to a child in my class.
