      Preface

      The intent of this Parent Guide is to educate parents about the differences between use, abuse and addiction as they pertain to drugs and alcohol. This guide will offer some tools and guidance as you navigate your children through adolescence and into adulthood.

      While this Parent Guide is an educational resource on its own, it is part one of a three-part series: Parent Guide, Student Workbook, and Teacher’s Guide & Kit. This series was written with the intention of being combined with an eight-session program focusing on prevention, education, and intervention.

      To learn more about the eight-session program, contact Shannon Rozell at srozell@comcast.net or (248)379-5502 or visit www.play-it-through.com.

      Introduction

      In today’s world, our busy day-to-day responsibilities often result in overlooking some important changes in our children’s behaviors; perhaps even discounting them as part of puberty or the natural course of maturing from child to adolescence and into adulthood. Unfortunately, if certain behaviors are ignored or discounted, the end result can be devastating to your child’s development, your child’s future, and sometimes have tragic consequences.

      The first tool offered in this Parent Guide is a Home Contract. The Home Contract helps create rules and boundaries in the household with the goal of removing destructive behaviors and restoring harmony in the household. I recommend that all household members read the section on the Home Contract before the first Home Contract meeting. This will provide an understanding of the purpose of the Home Contract, how it works and sets the stage for what will happen if the family cannot come to terms
