12: Alcohol - Approaching a much needed conversation with your adolescent.

The Parenting Stuff Podcast wants to encourage you to intentionally have conversations about alcohol with your kids. With St. Patrick's Day just passed, we thought it would be a good time of year to have a conversation about how teenagers in America are engaging with alcohol and how parents can prepare them to handle the inevitable decisions they're going to have to make around it. In this episode, we dive into the dangers of adolescent alcohol use, the importance of approaching topics like alcohol early and often with your kids, and some practical ways to begin that conversation even if you haven't done so before.
