How can parents keep their kids safe and healthy when it comes to drug and alcohol abuse? The Miles To Go Parenting Handbook Series is designed to aid parents as they deal with this challenge. Where's The Party?, the newest title in the series, offers parents of middle and high school age students a systematic outline of the best ways to manage the challenges of teenage parties in cases where drugs and alcohol may be present. A multi-point plan for dealing with party planning and attendance is backed up by extensive chapters on peer pressure, teen brain development, the use of consequences when things go awry, and the dangers that result from drug and alcohol use by teenagers. The first book in the series, Not All Kids Do Drugs, is a hands-on, systematic guide that tells parents how to handle issues faced by students of middle and high school age: curfews, non-use policies, goal setting, and what to do if drug and alcohol use occurs are just a few of the topics covered. It details how to make healthy, informed choices that will help keep kids sober and safe. The second book in the series, The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention, targets techniques parents of preschool and elementary school aged students can employ. Language, listening, inner speech, and parenting styles that reduce drug and alcohol use are just a few of the topics addressed.

Most parents are terrified by the idea of talking to their young children about drugs and alcohol. That fear causes many to wait far too long to start the discussion. Now, there is a solution to the problem: The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention. You can stop worrying right now-you don't have to talk to your six-year-old about heroin. In fact, most of this book has nothing at all to do with talking about drugs. Instead, it highlights all the little things we say and do when our children are young that can reduce stress and make them less likely as they get older to reach for drugs and alcohol to feel better. The Mother's Checklist is an exciting follow-up to Jonathan and Kelly's first handbook, Not All Kids Do Drugs, in which they gave parents the tools to help keep their kids safe and healthy in a world full of drugs. In The Mother's Checklist, they provide a detailed guide parents can use to forge patterns of language and behavior that will help them raise happy, self-confident children who can grow into functional, accomplished, drug-free young adults. The concept for this book was created by a mother, but it is not just for mothers. Dads, grandparents, nannies, babysitters, counselors, teachers-anyone who cares for or about children-will benefit from the wisdom found in this handbook and checklist.
