As parents, we have many ways to keep our teens safe. But, one you may not realize is regularly monitoring the amount of cough medicine in your home. When kids know you're monitoring them, they are less likely to misuse them. Keep them in a locked box or cabinet #medicationsafety

Keep your unused over-the-counter and prescription medications out of the wrong hands. Safe storage and safe disposal are critically important. A list of permanent medication disposal locations in Taney County can be found on our website at https://t.co/ABmXDSluLU

There's still time to share your opinion! Now through the 20th, we're asking residents of Stone & Taney Counties to complete a 10-minute survey on substance use. We need your opinion on youth and adult substance use and mental health. Get started at https://t.co/8zJq0qgHco

As children get older, the conversation changes. What you say to a 9-year-old about alcohol is different from what you say to a 15-year-old. Children also can't learn all they need to know from a single discussion. #talktheyhearyou

Kids and sports go hand-in-hand. When sports injuries happen, depending on the severity of the injury, your child may be prescribed prescription pain medication. Talk to your kids about prescription medication and the dangers of misuse. #talktheyhearyou

Lots of little talks are more effective than one "big talk." The "big talk" about alcohol can be intimidating. Lots of little talks take the pressure off trying to get all of the info out in one discussion. Your child will be less likely to tune you out. #talktheyhearyou

[ADAPT @taneycoADAPT]

Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, Keep it low-key. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get everything across in one talk. Plan to have many short talks. #talktheyhearyou

When they feel that you're being real and honest with them, they'll be more likely to respect your rules about underage drinking and enable them to feel less pressure from friends at school. #talktheyhearyou

Medication safety is a topic to be taken seriously. Do not, under any circumstances, flush your unused prescription or over-the-counter medications. The environmental impact is dramatic when chemicals are not properly disposed of. #medicationsafety

As kids get older, the conversation changes. What you say to a nine-year-old about alcohol is different from what you say to a 15-year-old. Make sure that the info you offer your child advice that fits their age. #talktheyhearyou

Parents, you have the power to prevent and detect OTC medicine misuse! Take routine medicine inventory so you’ll know if anything goes missing. When your teen knows you regularly monitor quantities of each bottle, they're less likely to take something. #medicationsafety

[ADAPT @taneycoADAPT]

Everyone needs to understand this! You should never take prescriptions that are not prescribed specifically to you. About 60,000 young children end up in emergency rooms each year because they got into medicines while an adult wasn’t looking. #medicationsafety

[ADAPT @taneycoADAPT]

If your teen took a bottle of wine, would you miss it? The risk of drinking among underage people increases as they get older. By age 15, 33% of people have had at least one drink. By age 18, that number increases to 60%. Stop underage drinking. Lock up alcohol. #talktheyhearyou
