As a parent, I have an intense interest in making sure my two kids stay away from drug use. I saw this book advertised in a parenting magazine and thought it might have some tips I could use. The price was low enough to take the chance.

I think it's an absolutely a must-have. It's written in a "Five Minute Manager" sort of style, so you can pick out the problems and related solutions quickly. I've used three or four of the tips already -- so far, so good! It's easy to refer back to for a refresher. Highly recommended. It's definitely worth the small investment.

This is a guide book, almost a dictionary for those interested in obtaining more information regarding drug prevention and drug use and how to deal with it.
It is an easy to read and follow book with understandable small chapters that answer your questions on drug abuse and prevention.
Even if there is not a problem at home with this issue, it should be read to hopefully prevent it from happening. The best thing is that it explains and also gives short examples so understanding is easier.
I will re-read it again and again to put its recommendations into practice at home.

Frank Simonelli has written the parent's handbook for preventing their kids from falling into the dark world of drugs. This is a book every parent should have and read.
Mr. Simonelli approaches the problem of drug abuse from the whole family approach. Stressing self-esteem and a positive approach to head off problems rather then a "scolding" too late reaction to a child's experimenting with drugs.

I don't know if this Frank Simonelli Jr is a genius or what, but somehow he's managed to get right to the heart of the matter right away. This is THE book for parents who want to help their kids avert the lifestyle of addiction, rather than trying to save their kids once their knee deep in drugs and alcohol. This book spells out the concrete, hands on ways parents can help their children. This isn't all that tocuhy-feely crap theory about breast feeding written by dead doctors with names that rhyme with "annoyed", this is a practical, hands on way for parent's to get involved and PARTICIPATE in their children's' lives.

My only suggestion for improving the book is in the next round of publishing Mr. Simonelli correct all pronouns to be gender inclusive.

In this first edition, the book always refers to the "he / him" rather than the "she / her" however, daughters are just as susceptible to the ravages of drug abuse as son's. Something I'm sure can easily be changed for the second edition, as this one is sure to sell out.

Other than that I think it an insightful, powerful work, super helpful and very informative.

I HIGHLY recommend it.
