Parenting a teen means talking about hard stuff too, like anxiety, depression, and drug and alcohol use.

Checking in regularly and creating a judgment-free space can help your teen feel comfortable opening up and help protect them from pressure to use drugs and alcohol.

Start small: listen without judgement, lead with compassion, and let them know you're paying attention. You don’t need to have all the answers. Being present and keeping the conversation matters.

A new school year brings fresh opportunities, big and small. Taking a minute to talk about goals can help kids think intentionally about what they want to learn, try, improve, or accomplish in the months ahead. Whether it's making a new friend, raising a grade, joining a club, or simply staying organized, these conversations can help build confidence and motivation. Ask this question sometime this week and see where the conversation leads.
