From the publisher

My Parents Have a Drug Problem was written as a children’s book to be relatable to younger children who can’t yet understand the effects their parent’s addiction has on their lives. The book includes teachable moments that help guide the conversation and ask questions that otherwise might be overlooked or forgotten. The My Parents Have a Drug Problem accompanying guide, A Guide to Talking to Children About Drug Addiction takes a closer look at addiction and gives some tips on talking to children about addiction and what their parents may be experiencing.
