5 Steps to Put the Brakes on Back Talk

October 31, 2011 By Alex

Parenting can be hard, especially when the kiddos are being defiant. Nothing makes me madder than when I ask my children to do something and they yell back at me with a “No!” My blood starts to boil and I can feel my anger rising.

It was 8:15 in the morning, and the jacuzzi was filled with teens (one of which was naked) smoking, drinking, and passing a joint. I do not want my kids to be in this scenario in ten years, which is why it’s so important to have an open dialogue about drugs now. But how do we begin? And what do we say, exactly? They’re still so young, and well. . . innocent. Do we even want them to know that such a thing like drugs exist?
