Remember, you are the greatest influence on your children's development. Even if they don't openly admit this, your kids are paying close attention to what you say and do.
Raising teenagers is tough enough, but throw in a pandemic and substance use struggles, and you've got a real challenge on your hands. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', Dr. Joseph Lee dives into his book 'Recovering My Kid' to offer practical advice for parents navigating these stormy waters. Dr. Lee emphasizes that your home isn't a democracy—you're the captain of the ship, and setting firm boundaries is crucial.
He discusses the importance of being honest about your own history with substances while maintaining your role as a leader in your child's life.

By blending honesty with authority, you can guide your child through the pandemic's challenges and help them come out stronger on the other side.
