She is a nationally recognized medical media expert & author of award-winning book, \u201cThe ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness\u201d. Teen & college age partying is NOT what parents remember! Beer (with perhaps, worst case, beer bongs) have given way to successive vodka shots and intentional \u201cblackout\u201d drinking, and the mellow \u201cCheech N Chong\u201d joint sharing version of \u201cpot\u201d is a far cry from today\u2019s high THC concentration \u201cweed\u201d. Dr. Grimes shares the inside scoop about the medical challenges and risks of today\u2019s party culture. Late middle school and early high school is when you want to begin talking with your teen about managing their health care. If they take medication, schedule a weekly time to work with them on filling a pill organizer so they are prepared. Dr. Jill covers what your teen will need when filling out their own medical forms. Talk with your teen about the process and help them gather information they\u2019ll need so they are prepared when they\u2019re on their own. Hear from Dr. Jill on the most common illness and medical concerns that your teen may encounter, and how they can be prepared to get the help they need. About inking, Teens can get a temporary tattoo and live with that for a week to see how they feel about it before getting the real deal. Learn how to empower your teen to have a successful conversation with their doctor to be sure their needs are being addressed in the time given, and how to handle medication that\u2019s prescribed: cost, side-effects, if they don\u2019t feel better, etc. Sponsored by EdGerety.com Resources Website: https:\/\/jillgrimesmd.com TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@TikTok.CollegeDoc Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jillgrimesmd Purchase the Book on Amazon: The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness ","author_name":"Parents Navigating the Teen Years","author_url":"https:\/\/www.EdGerety.com\/Education\/Podcast","html":"
