Do (or did) your children tell you about the drinking and drugging habits of their teenage classmates?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, my girls have told me about people they know who drink and/or smoke cigarettes or pot. If anyone is doing anything harder than pot, I’m not aware of it. My oldest even told both her father and I when she had her first drinking experience this year (she is underage, and away at college.) I’m really glad they are so open with us about it. It helps keep the lines of communication open…lots of opportunities for ‘teachable moments’.
