How to talk about not smoking

Thanks for these podcasts, has been helpful. I have 9 yr old daughter. While watching shows/ movies, she has seems actors smoking. Twice, she has asked me this qs- that why people smoke, what is so good about it that they smoke. It’s a tough qs, as I want to answer in a way that tells some truth but also repels the thought of smoking. How ‘d you handle these qs, about smoking or even sex. Can you do a podcast. Thanks

I like taking parenting advice from a doctor!

Prism Parenting is fantastic! Dr. Heather and the people she interviews teach scientific methods proven to improve family dynamics and help you become a more competent parent. The truth is as a parent you can either copy the way you were parented and “try” to do better or you can KNOW you are doing better by listening to the experts!
