There are two simple concepts that are almost never part of the conversation around parenting and substance use and when they’re ignored, the costs are huge for you, your child, and for your relationship.

In this episode I’m breaking down what those concepts actually mean and why understanding them is one of the most humanizing shifts you can make as a parent.

You’ll learn:

• Why your child may not be capable of the same things other kids their age are capable of

• How to tell the difference between when your child is refusing to do something and when they genuinely can’t

• The one question you can ask yourself to help you support your child in the way they actually need

• Why expectations that match reality don’t lower the bar - they make growth possible

If you’ve ever felt like you were missing a piece of the puzzle that would help you understand your child better - this is it.
