Three Keys To A Positive Approach For Parenting A Child Misusing Drugs Or Alcohol; Courage, Confidence, And Compassion, With Brenda Zane

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Research has shown that a positive, non-confrontational approach to helping our kids make positive changes in their lives is the most effective when they’re misusing substances. In this episode, I share three keys to shifting your words, actions, and mindset in a more positive direction using courage, confidence, and compassion. 

After listening to this episode you'll walk away with:

• an understanding of what motivates a young person to change their substance use and what doesn't
• why courage is an inside job and how to boost yours
• how we can increase our confidence even when we're living in a foreign world filled with stigma
• why parenting from a place of compassion is important if we want our kids to make healthier decisions
• a solution for the times when you bomb your parenting attempt that models good behavior to your child
• a positive-parenting tip you can use today with your son or daughter who's misusing drugs or alcohol, no practice required.
