Talking Smack to Keep Kids Drug-Free

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) February 18, 2010 — Are you talking smack? You’d better be.

Focus on the Family COO Glenn Williams, a psychologist and substance abuse expert who has worked with parents and teens for more than 20 years and created the How to Drug Proof Your Kids program (www.drugproofyourkids.com), says parents need to be intentional about talking to their kids about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
In his new book, Talking Smack (Authentic Publishing/Biblica, .99, paper, ISBN: 9781934068861), Williams urges parents to begin drug-proofing their kids at an early age.
Although many parents believe their family, community, or church is immune from drug abuse, recent statistics prove otherwise:
Talking Smack outlines risk factors, signs of drug use, and reasons why drugs and alcohol are attractive to teens. Williams gives practical strategies to help parents equip their children to avoid substance abuse. Each chapter ends with a summary and action items, and the book concludes with a list of resources.
“I can’t state it any more plainly than this: If you’re a parent, you need to read this book,” said Focus on the Family President/CEO Jim Daly. “Drug and alcohol abuse do not discriminate. They impact children in every nation and every environment and every walk of life.”
Glenn Williams will be available for interviews Feb. 28 and Mar. 1 at the 2010 National Religious Broadcasters convention. To arrange an interview, contact Biblica Marketing Director Mike Dworak, Mike(dot)Dworak(at)Biblica(dot)com, 719-867-2768.
