Publisher's Summary

This is a book in the I-Can-Do-It book series. This audiobook covers the common behavior side-effects of family alcoholism on toddlers to late teens. It also discusses what you, as the nondrinking parent, can do to reverse the side-effects.

Practical guidelines put you in the driver's seat to assure your kids receive important coping skills and resilience. Children of alcoholics (CoAs) may or may not be drinkers when they grow into adulthood, but they will be tolerant to drinkers, and form bad habits. You can prevent bad habits and change your child's passive acceptance of alcohol as normal in families.

better care efforts

Helps to understand better and how to better tolerate someone actions or behavior. This general understanding creates a safe boundary from you and the alcoholic.

workbook

it has some good ideas, but it is a bit weird as an audible as it is a short workbook.
