One of the best things you can do for your teenager is to lead them down the road to recovery. If you can be courageous enough to admit your issues and seek help, you will set a powerful example for your teenager.
Parenting a teenager can be challenging, but when your child is struggling with substance abuse, it can feel overwhelming. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Next Right STEPS', host Steve Ward dives into the nitty-gritty of being a supportive parent during such tough times. This is the second part of a two-part series where Steve breaks down the 'E', 'A', and 'T' of being a G-R-E-A-T parent.
Whether your teen is dealing with anxiety, depression, or substance abuse, there are practical steps you can take to help them and yourself. Steve emphasizes the importance of leading by example. Admitting and addressing your own issues can set a powerful precedent for your teenager. It's not just about telling them what to do; it's about showing them how to live a healthier, more balanced life.
Steve also highlights the significance of engaging your teen in positive activities and steering them away from harmful influences. Professional help is another key aspect discussed in this episode. Sometimes, counselors or therapy groups can reach your teen in ways that parents can't. Steve encourages parents to remain hopeful and trust in the process, even when things seem bleak. This episode is a treasure trove of advice for any parent facing these challenges.
Steve's compassionate approach and practical tips provide a roadmap for helping your teen navigate their recovery journey while also taking care of yourself. If you're a parent looking for guidance on how to support your teenager through their struggles, this episode is a must-listen.
