Parenting

is challenging!

Educating yourselves on the dangers vapes and marijuana can make the discussion with your teen easier and more meaningful. Scare tactics don't work but understanding and compassion do!

If you think screens haven't taken over so many kids lives

THINK AGAIN!!

Spending a large amount of time on their devices can hijack developing brains and easy access to drugs and alcohol can lead to addiction.
