Learn with Dr. Emily

According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, the nation's largest preventable and costly health problem is teen drug addiction.

As parents, drug and alcohol abuse is something that keeps us up at night. And while we can talk with them until we're blue in the face about the dangers, we're never really sure about how effective our conversations are.

Well what if addiction prevention is something all parents can help with - but it has nothing to do with talking about drugs themselves?
