Great tips from the CDC!Parenting a teen means talking about hard stuff too, like anxiety, depression, and drug and alcohol use.
Checking in regularly and creating a judgment-free space can help your teen feel comfortable opening up and help protect them from pressure to use drugs and alcohol.
Start small: listen without judgement, lead with compassion, and let them know you're paying attention. You don’t need to have all the answers. Being present and keeping the conversation matters.
