Encourage Healthy Eating Habits

Buy and serve more fruits and vegetables fresh, frozen, canned or dried. Let the child choose them at the store. Buy fewer soft drinks and high fat or high calorie snack foods like chips, cookies and candy. These snacks may be okay occasionally, but always keep healthy snack foods on hand. Offer the healthy snacks more often at snack times. Make sure the child eats breakfast every day. Breakfast may provide the child with the energy he or she needs to listen and learn in school. Skipping breakfast can leave a child hungry, tired and looking for less healthy foods later in the day. Eat fast food less often. When visiting a fast food restaurant, encourage healthier options choices, such as salads with low-fat dressing or small sandwiches without cheese or mayonnaise. Offer a child water or low fat milk more often than fruit juice. Low fat milk and milk products are important for development of any child. One hundred percent fruit juice is a healthy choice but is high in calories. Limit the amount of saturated and trans fats in the family diet. Instead, most fat intake should come from sources such as fish, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Plan healthy meals and eat together as a family. Eating together at meal times helps children learn to enjoy a variety of foods. Do not get discouraged if a child will not eat a new food the first time. Some kids will need to have a new food served to them 10 times or more before they will eat it. Try not to use food as a reward when encouraging kids to eat. Promising dessert to a child for eating vegetables, for example, sends the message that vegetables are less valuable than dessert. Kids learn to dislike foods they think are less valuable.

Drug Abuse Treatment for Criminals

Drug abuse treatment is an effective intervention for drug abusers, including those who are involved with the criminal justice system. However, the effectiveness of drug treatment depends on both the individual and the program and on whether interventions and treatment services are available and appropriate for the needs of the individual. To amend attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that support drug use, the drug abuser must engage in a therapeutic change process. Longitudinal outcome studies find that those who participate in drug abuse treatment programs in the community commit fewer crimes than those who do not participate.
A history of drug use does not indicate the need for drug abuse treatment. Offenders who meet drug dependence criteria should have higher priority for treatment than those who do not. Less intensive interventions, such as drug abuse education or self help participation, may be appropriate for those not meeting criteria for drug dependence.
Some drug abuse treatments programs tailor to the needs of juveniles. Some programs offer psychiatric treatment. All drug abuse treatment programs become more effective when criminal or cognitive behavioral criminal justice personnel work in tandem with treatment providers.
If drug abusers meet other criteria, low motivation to participate in treatment or to end drug abuse should not preclude access to treatment. Motivational enhancement interventions may be useful in these cases. Examples of motivation include motivational interviewing and contingency management techniques, which often provide tangible rewards.

Offender Legal Pressures

Legal pressure that encourages abstinence and treatment participation may also help individuals by improving retention and catalyzing longer treatment stays.
Drug abuse treatment is effective for offenders who have a history of serious and violent crime, particularly with intensive, targeted services. The economic benefits in avoided crime and costs to crime victims, like medical costs, lost earnings and loss in quality of life, may be substantial for these higher risk offenders. Treating them requires a high degree of coordination between drug abuse treatment providers and criminal justice personnel in order to ensure that the treatment and criminal genic meet the needs of the individual.
