Problem parents?


A recent publication from the Center for Substance Abuse Research reports that there are four characteristics of "problem parents". "Problem parents" are defined as those who fail to

1. monitor their children's school night activities;

2. safeguard prescription drugs at home;

3. address the problem of drugs in schools;

4. set a good example.

The NE Seattle Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking is helping parents prevent underage drinking and substance abuse among their children through:

Guiding Good Choices workshops;

Parent Pledge & Directory;

Parenting resources on our website;

Planning a parenting forum on how to monitor your children. See our calendar of events for information on our next planning meeting.
