A parent's guide to the TeenBrain
For every parent of a teenager who has ever wondered “who is this kid?” a new web destination, from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, aims to make answering the question a little bit easier. “A Parent’s Guide to the Teen Brain” helps parents navigate the confusing, often frustrating teen years. It translates recent scientific findings that shed light on how brain development shapes teens’ behavior and personalities into easy-to-understand tips and tools for parents.

As a parent, the things you say and do have a tremendous influence on the decisions your child makes - especially when it comes to using drugs or alcohol. Research shows that kids who learn a lot about the risks of drugs from their parents are up to 50% less likely to use. By talking to your kids about drugs and alcohol, you can help them make better choices and live safer, healthier lives.

Starting the conversation with your kids and keeping communication open is never easy -- but it's also not as difficult as you may think. Whether you're having trouble finding the time or finding the right words, Time to Talk is here to provide the support and resources you need when it's time to talk to your kids about drugs and alcohol.
