From NPR: 6 Ways to Help Kids in Families Struggling with Addiction
The suggestions: 1. Be caring and consistent (and don't pry). 2. Remember: children love their parents (even if they've said or done terrible things). 3. Remind them (repeatedly) it's not their fault. 4. Look beyond a child's behavior (instead ask 'why') 5. Help kids learn to deal with their emotions (in a healthy way). 6. Let kids be kids. (Encourage silliness!)
