Drug & substance abuse: social aspects; Child care & upbringing

For any parent worried about the realities of drug and alcohol use, whether they're concerned about current problems or are wondering how to prepare for the time when their kids are faced with drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure...for parents with personal or family histories of drug and alcohol abuse, who are worried how to keep this pattern from extending to their children...most of all, for parents frustrated with the unrealistic, zero-tolerance approach preached elsewhere, and who are looking for a more measured, realistic guide.

Renowned addiction expert Stanton Peele offers an unorthodox yet effective method that helps parents combat addiction. This practical guide takes a calming, realistic approach, explaining how to impart the fundamental values that will protect children and prevent experimentation from evolving into dependency.

""Dr. Peele offers a smart, readable, commonsense guide for parents concerned about their children's drug and alcohol use. Persuasively rebutting the alarmist view advanced by the 'experts,' he shows the importance of reinforcing children's independence, promoting constructive values, and fostering the ability to learn from mistakes. He also shows how to teach youth to recognize the risks in overusing substances and suggests safeguards for the small minority who are at greatest risk for addiction.""-Aaron T. Beck, professor of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania
