Every time I've ever watched tv, even when I watch, like Doug, like you know, Doug had people interested in him, but Doug was like you know, like girls have cooties or something, it was never like.
Picture this: it's the start of a new school year, and with it comes the challenge of preparing your child to face potential pressures, including substance abuse. In this episode of 'Urge Fix', Dr. Cyntrell Crawford teams up with Dr. Jarret, a pediatrician and behavioral modification expert, to arm parents with the tools they need for these crucial conversations. Dr.
Jarret, known for her best-sellers 'License To Live' and 'Whose Bad A** Kids are Those?', brings her expertise to the table, emphasizing the importance of starting these discussions early and keeping them ongoing throughout a child's development. She suggests that this is not a one-time chat but a continuous dialogue that evolves as your child grows. One standout tip from Dr. Jarret is the significance of setting a structured schedule for your child.
By organizing time for schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and family moments, parents can help their children avoid unstructured time that might lead to negative influences. Additionally, Dr. Jarret underscores the impact of parents' behavior on their children's choices, encouraging parents to be mindful of their actions and words. Open communication is another key point in this episode. Dr. Jarret advises parents to maintain an open line of communication with their children about substance abuse and other tough topics.
This helps kids feel supported and prepared to resist temptations they might encounter. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights aimed at helping parents guide their children through the complexities of growing up in today's world. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to equip their kids with the knowledge and confidence to say no to drugs and alcohol.
