0:00.0	We all want our kids to grow up safe and healthy so we show them how and we tell them with honest
0:07.6	conversations that let them know what we expect. That's especially important when it comes to alcohol
0:12.8	and other drugs. Kids need to know that dangers and how to avoid them and when it comes to
0:17.5	pain medications, opioids. They need to know that they should never be taken without a prescription
0:22.2	and never shared with friends or family. It's dangerous and illegal. So talk with your kids
0:27.5	because when you talk, they hear you. You will come back much more self-confident, much more
0:34.2	focused and you might realize the thing that you thought you needed to be doing really in the

1:24.4	is actually more than enough and gives us more space. But if we took the break first, we'd see that
1:30.2	and then we actually can have gotten the break in and still get the thing done.
1:36.3	Welcome to Therapist Uncensored. Building on decades of professional experience, this podcast
1:41.2	tackles neurobiology, modern attachment and more in an honest way that's helpful in healing
1:46.4	humans. Your session begins now with Dr. Anne Kelly and Sue Marriott.
