A Simple Parenting Tool That Helped Save My Sanity and Influenced My Addicted Son, with Brenda Zane
Description
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Every once in a while something comes along and works, and you're shocked because life can feel like an endless series of failures when your teen or young adult child is misusing substances. When I found the CRAFT method of parenting a child in addiction, I was skeptical because it seemed too simple - but sometimes simple is what you need.
This episode will introduce you to one of the tools in the CRAFT method toolbox which is incredibly simple to incorporate into your day to day life and can significantly improve the overall tone and relationship with your son or daughter.
I share a few practical scenarios where you can insert this tool even if you have a child in active addiction - whether they live with you or not. It's a short but effective 25 minutes - perfect for a dog walk or quick drive to the store.
