Why Teenagers Take Drugs
Sometimes, teenagers take drugs. Maybe, even the teenager in your home. Therefore, it is important for parents to realize the danger their children face:
- 75% of high school students have used addictive substances, e.g. tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine.
- 90% of Americans with addiction start before the age of 18.
Proactive Parenting
You already know parenting is important, and you spend time with your kids. But is it time doing the things that matter the most?
Do you have a plan to help you be the best parent you can be, and are you intentional about putting that plan into action each day?
In other words, do you practice proactive parenting?
Parenting With Grace and Truth
Parenting with grace begins when we recognize we are not perfect and that we make mistakes, but God shows us grace anyway. Which sets the example for how we can parent our kids.
Proactive parenting helps us adopt a balanced view that does not replace truth, but complements it, and it gives us the courage to enforce boundaries and consequences.
