First lady Melania Trump revealed on Tuesday what she tells the Trumps' 12-year-old son Barron about the dangers of drugs.
Axar.az reports citing Dailymail.
'I teach him, I try to explain how drugs are dangerous and how they will mess up your head, mess up your body and nothing positive comes of it,' she said at a town hall meeting in Las Vegas on the opioid crisis.
Host Eric Bolling, a former Fox News star who lost his son to an opioid overdose, asked her at what age parents should warn their kids about the dangers of drugs.
'I think eight. Nowadays the children are so smart and the life is so fast and they have access to everything,' she said.
'We need to teach them at very early age how bad drugs are.'
Melania Trump has promoted her Be Best campaign in the Washington D.C. area and on day trips including an October trip to a children's hospital in Philadelphia. She has also made day trips to the U.S.-Mexico border to visit migrant children separated from their parents under her husband's immigration policy.
She also made a four-day trip to Africa last year, her first solo overnight trip as first lady.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Tuesday's Las Vegas town hall will stream on all its websites Broadcast Group stations.
This is the first lady's second town hall with Bolling on the opioid crisis.
Her first was at Liberty University in Virginia on Nov. 28, 2018.
At that event, she defended her controversial red Christmas trees at the White House as 'fantastic' and says son Barron is not on social media yet.
Melania Trump was asked by Bolling about what she talks about with her 12-year-old son Barron when it comes to drug addiction.
'I always tell him drugs can be very dangerous and mess up your mind and body,' she said. 'And to love yourself more than you love drugs.'
She also said her son, who was spotted carrying his mobile phone onto Air Force One when he left Mar-a-Lago with his parents at the end of his Thanksgiving break, has no social media accounts.
'He doesn't have a social media yet. He's not interested in it. He's all into sports. He's a great athlete,' she said.
'I teach him to be responsible and treat all people with respect and kindness,' she added. 'That is very important to me.'
Melania also said she knew she would be criticized when she made anti-bullying one of her initiatives with some critics pointing out one of the biggest offenders is her husband.
President Trump often uses his twitter account to attack his political enemies.
'I knew that I would be criticized but I would do what is right for the next generation,' the first lady said.
'Sometimes you need to fight back, I'm sorry,' she added.
