Al ATEEN is the best for the children. Please be up front and honest with your children, they do get that something is wrong. I have two young ones 9&8, and trust me they understand totally what is going on...use it as CHOCOLATE as an example...being addicted to it, they crave it, and dont know why...they just gotta have it...and in the mist of all that, they are lost because the craving and addiction is so strong...its a disease, and we are powerless over that...
