Parents'' preoccupation with children, lack of supervision and guidance,
Lack of dialogue between family members, babysitting or accompanying bad companions, unemployment and leisure.
Khoja concluded by saying
The most successful methods of preventing drug abuse and psychotropic substances are developing self-control among individuals, cultivating good values, educating young people about the dangers of drug abuse in all aspects, and building a strong, aware individual to be a good citizen, and the best way for that is proper family education that is based on understanding and dialogue between individuals. The family truly strives to build the child’s life skills that make him, when he goes out to society, able to distinguish between correct and deviant behaviors, and able to face peer pressure with his independent personality.
