PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on drugs

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher highlights the effects of drug abuse on the family members

1. When a parent has an addiction, they’ll be too busy looking for and using their substance of choice, which distracts them from their responsibilities

2. Addicts aren’t likely to follow through on their agreements or promises, and this causes further strain in their relationships.

3. Taking care of bills, making decisions, raising the kids, and cleaning up after the addict is quickly going to take a toll on the other parent

4. Financing an addiction isn’t cheap. Additionally, the substance abuse problem is likely going to cause the individual to lose their job due to poor performance or attendance. After that happens, they’ll turn to their savings to quench their addiction.

Consequently, the family will begin having problems paying for basic things such as food, clothing, utilities, and rent or mortgage.

5. In addition to making the addict irrational, their substance abuse is also likely to put everyone around them on edge. This means that simple disagreements can result in big fights as everyone feels misunderstood.

6. Drug abuse usually makes an individual’s behavior unpredictable. You never know how they’ll react to a situation. In a bid to avoid physical or emotional abuse, family members might begin walking on eggshells to appease their addicted loved one.
