Raising Confident Tweens/Teens: Win a $50 VISA Gift Card

by Jen Tilley on October 3rd, 2014 | 3 Comments »

Is your tween or teen more than just her moody stereotype? We thought so. In fact, research shows that teens who are validated by their parents are more confident and more resistant to peer pressure. Join the national conversation and tell us what's awesome about your tween or teen! Log onto #ToMyTeen and you could win.

October is National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month and through Stop Medicine Abuse's #ToMyTeen campaign, we are hoping to inspire parents to tell others what is positive and rewarding about raising teens today. We are also hoping to inspire conversations about over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicine abuse. 1 in 3 teens knows someone who has abused cough medicine to get high and kids are 50% less likely to experiment with drugs if a parent talks with them.

How can you participate? It takes no time at all!
