Below we provide a few examples of strategies and tools parents use to be present and to manage substances our kids may have access to.

Properly dispose of old prescription pills in a Prescription Drop Box - they can be found in many sheriff's stations

throughout the County - find the nearest one here - https://www.sdsheriff.net/prescription-drugs/dropbox.html

Pay it forward - Be Creative & make someone's day - find a favorite rock and saying or word, paint it and give it to a friend.  You can also help them pay gratitude forward by including some thank you notes.

Have a family game night - but mix it up with some fun "mashups" or try one of these Best 2020 Board Games for Kids and families!

Be inspired by the perspective of others.  
The website motivateus.com 

has motivational quotes submitted by teens for teens.  Parents, you can leave these quotes as notes on a door, mirror, in a car, on a notebook - anywhere your teen might be.
