Summary, etc.: | A comprehensive reference for parents and educators explains the origins of substance abuse while offering advice for how to identify risk factors and take steps to prevent vulnerable teens from developing an addiction disorder. Lahey was born into a family with a history of alcoholism and drug abuse; despite her desires to thwart her genetic legacy, she didn't find sobriety until her early forties. Now she provides a comprehensive resource parents and educators can use to prevent substance abuse in children. She presents strategies and practical tools that are age-appropriate and actionable. -- adapted from jacket. |
