This episode of Reading With Your Kids takes a deep dive into a  wide range of topics related to parenting, education, and children's health. Richard Capriola, an expert in adolescent substance abuse, discussed the importance of educating parents on the warning signs of drug and alcohol use in teens with our RWYK intern Kayla Nuehlen. He emphasized that knowledge is key to early intervention. Richard and Kayla discussed how schools could incorporate neuroscience into drug education to make it more engaging for students.

Teen drug use rates in the US were examined, noting that many teens believe drugs are widely available and not dangerous. Intergenerational relationships and the role of food in bringing families together were explored. We also welcomed author Tim Kleyn back to the show. Tim was on to celebrate his new kids' book Grilled Cheese, Yes Please. Tim also shared how becoming a parent influenced his books to incorporate more playfulness and reflect on a child's perspective.
