How to Talk to Kids About Alcoholism and Addiction: Insights from Ms.B

I've learned that the strongest families, those that give abounding love and create safe havens for their children, aren't necessarily immune to the devastating effects of alcoholism or drug addiction.
When it comes to teaching kids about alcoholism and addiction, where do you even start? In this episode, Ms.B, known as the Goddess of Empathy, dives into this challenging topic with a blend of personal anecdotes and professional advice. Growing up during the crack epidemic of the 80s and working in human services for over two decades, Ms.B has seen firsthand how addiction can touch even the strongest families.
She shares her own story of how addiction affected generations in her family and offers practical tips for parents facing similar struggles. Ms.B emphasizes the importance of open communication and creating a safe space where children feel comfortable discussing anything. She believes that providing a 'cultural toolkit'—resources and strategies tailored to your family's unique circumstances—can make a world of difference.
Whether addiction runs in your family or not, Ms.B's insights are invaluable for anyone looking to educate their children on this sensitive subject. The episode also tackles the tough question of what to do if children start following in their parents' footsteps. Ms.B offers compassionate advice on how to handle these situations with empathy and understanding. This isn't just a podcast episode; it's a heartfelt guide for parents navigating the complexities of addiction and recovery within their families.
Tune in to gain wisdom from Ms.B's rich experience and compassionate approach.
