## Resource

You and I have impulsive, emotional kids who are prone to sneaking screens or food at night and experimenting with porn, drinking, vaping, and drugs. They may steal your credit card for an online purchase. Just confronting them will cause them to be more sneaky or lie. But you can’t let them get away with it. I give you a script and step-by-step process for having tough talks to prevent this behavior from happening again. And I share how a rigid, career military Dad bonded with a son he had nothing in common with.  P.S. Take advantage of our Back-To-School Sale at  https://celebratecalm.com/products/ .
