For many years, parents have been aware that the teenage scene poses some risks. Some parents decide to wait and see if a problem develops and then address it. Other parents fall prey to the many myths that help sustain not only ineffective parenting but also the teenage scene itself:
"All kids experiment. Everyone is doing it."
"There is too much peer pressure to resist."
"We did it. They will. Everything will work itself out."
Thirty years of research has proved not only that these myths offer false hopes for parents but also preparing in advance is a key element for success. With the valuable and carefully researched information A Game Plan for Parents provides, groups of parents will find this book to be a wonderful networking tool. Together, parents can discuss these successful strategies and implement the game plan presented here.
