The Invisible Intervention: An Unlikely Change Approach for Parenting Kids Misusing Drugs & Alcohol, with Brenda Zane

ABOUT THE EPISODE In this episode, I delve into the concept of allowing natural consequences as a form of "invisible intervention" in parenting teens and young adults struggling with substance misuse and mental health issues. I share real-life examples and experiences on the benefits of stepping back to let reality teach essential lessons, emphasizing the need for patience and rock solid boundaries.  I highlight the challenges parents face in resisting the urge to fix everything and discuss how this approach can profoundly impact a child"s journey towards recovery - creating change sooner than later.  EPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream podcast episode 174 with Brenda and Cathy on boundariesChecklist: Ten Parenting Patterns That May Prolong Your Child"s Struggle with Substances, And What To Do Instead This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream Community Learn about The Stream, our private online community for moms Find us on Instagram here Find us on YouTube here Download a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and Alcohol Hopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.
