As your child grows up, he or she will have to begin dealing with many important health issues not included in the Child Health Guide. Some examples of these issues are:

• Alcohol
  
  
• Drugs
  
  
• Tobacco
  
  
• Sexuality
  
  
• AIDS
  
  
• Birth Control
  
  

Talk to your child's doctor or other health care provider about these important issues - even while your child is still young. You may also get assistance from authorities listed on the next two pages.

Start early to teach your child to make responsible choices - not mistakes that can have a lifelong effect. Take the time to "be there" for your child - listening, advising, and supporting. The rewards will be well worth the effort.
