About this episode
Dr. Susan Swick addresses various parenting questions, including how to discuss marijuana with children.
Questions about parenting seem to never end! They can be about what’s happening at home, at school, or inside your child’s head. Today, I’m tackling five different questions in one episode so we can get more guidance and tips in the hands of more parents. We cover screentime, when to have “the talk” about sex, and even tough genealogy questions! But by making it all talkaboutable, you’ll see that there are lots of solutions and paths forward and that you already have many of the tools you need to get the conversation started. Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable. Stay up to date with Lemonada on X…
