As a parent today you must invest the time to stay fully aware of the dangers facing your children. That goes from every toxic social media app to the latest on harmful behaviors. I watched a 60 Minutes segment on social media bullying that absolutely shocked me. Your leadership at home is far more important than anything you are doing at work. This post by Jonathan McKee is very helpful:
“In March of this year we wrote a “Youth Culture Window” article to you about vaping, revealing the huge jump in vaping amongst teen users. Just how “huge” of a jump?
In December 2018 a government study revealed a total of 37 percent of 12thgraders reported vaping in the past 12 months. The year prior, just 28 percent (I use the word “just” lightly). That kind of leap is unprecedented. (This means many of the articles you read just a few years ago mentioning smoking statistics are already waaaaaaay out of date.)
Some of these reports use numbers of “current users,” kids who have vaped in the last 30 days. 21 percent of seniors have vaped in the last month alone, according to the same report. Again… huge.”
