Summary/Abstract: During one year the percentage of drug abuse among Croatian youth has been increased for almost 50%. So, the new task of the Croatian family is drug abuse prevention by means of family education. This article points out the importance and the role of parents in drug abuse prevention. The spreading of drug abuse is the result of modern civilization relations in which the family is being destroyed as the first and the last defense wall against the most dangerous evil. The undesirable behaviour of children does not happen by pure chance. The educational approaches strengthening the emotional, psychological and spiritual life of children develop their self-confidence. Family education helps children to choose "healthy high". The model of collaboration, in which the parent is a partner, represents the early drug abuse prevention concept. But many parents are not aware ofthat, and are not ready for that collaboration.
