Quick Chat: Can parents tell their children not to smoke if they are smokers?
This controversial topic comes up surprisingly often in session. Parents don't want their children to smoke, but what if they themselves are smokers? What if they are modelling smoking as a normal way of life to their children?
This is super tricky issue and I have loads of empathy for adults caught in this situation as quitting smoking is argued to be the most difficult addiction to overcome. More the reason to desperately try to discourage our children from smoking right? But then the child says 'Yeah, but you do it...'
