When you listen to your child in conversations about substance use, they know their voice matters. Trust grows when respect and clear boundaries go hand in hand.

• Listen with openness—your child will feel safe to share.
• Sometimes, they just need to be heard without someone trying to fix them.
• Prior to these conversations, make a serious effort to educate yourself on substance use and disorder.
• Trust comes from hearing their perspective while holding firm on substance use boundaries.
• It’s not about one big “talk”—many small conversations over time matter most.
• Honest conversations help them make better choices.
