Book Synopsis

Feeling overwhelmed by today's parenting challenges in a world abundant with substances? Are you searching for ways to fortify your child against temptation? Would you recognize the signs of substance use?

Navigating the complexities of modern parenting in an era where substance abuse is no longer an anomaly but a reality, it's imperative to be well-armed.

• "Vigilance is enough to keep them safe."
• "It's not our child; it's their friends. They are a bad influence."

However, the statistics from the National Center for Drug Abuse cast a bleak shadow, indicating that no family is truly immune. But forewarned is forearmed, and knowledge remains the most potent weapon.
