Description

By the 12th grade, about two-thirds of teens have tried alcohol, and around half of high schoolers have tried marijuana. What causes them to engage in this behavior? Is it just curiosity, or is it something deeper? In today's episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd talk about why teens are drawn to using substances and why it has a lot to do with today's ever-changing culture. This is an important topic, so don't miss out! For more biblically based advice on supporting your child, check out Mark's latest devotional, "Daily Hope For Families," at dailyhopeforfamilies.com Parenting Today's Teens is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
