  • #184: Positive Reinforcement, Negative Consequences, And Teen Substance Use
    Nov 12 2024

    Today's episode wraps up the series on teen substance use and is a continuation from last week's episode on the methods discussed in the book, Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change.

    If your teen or tween is using substances and you want to know how to best motivate them to change their behavior, this episode and last week's episode 183 is for you.

    Today I'll discuss the importance of collaborating with your co-parent, using positive reinforcement to see the behavior you want to see and natural and negative consequences to discourage the substance using behavior you don't want to see.
