Are fear-based drug talks actually putting your child at greater risk? Discover why the traditional "just say no" approach often fails—and what you can do instead.

As a parent, you want to protect your child from the dangers of drugs. But outdated, fear-driven conversations can push them away rather than help them make safer choices.
