Eight out of ten children will try alcohol and/or other drugs before they graduate from high school. Given that fact, what can a parent do? How can a parent prevent abuse? In this show I share with you some statistics on teenage drug use and overdose, the struggles that teenagers are facing with drugs, tips and guiding information to help you raise resilient independent children in a world where they confront drugs (whether legal or illegal) every day.) It is never easy to find out your teen is using drugs. Communication is a powerful tool for reducing and preventing teen drug abuse. There are many reasons why it is important for every parent to know about drugs and how to better support their teen. I have created a 13 page download with more information to help parents understand the drug world surrounding their teens and tips to better support their teens.  For Further Insight: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrStemMahlatini Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrStemahlatini Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstemspeaks/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrStemmie/featured Understanding Your teenager Link: https://youtu.be/vYjQN2B84E8
