Dinner table conversation - how do I really communicate with my kids?

Shannon Garza joins us for this episode of the West Ada School District podcast.  Shannon is a Detective with the Ada County Sherriff’s Department and she’s also the School Resource Officer at Lake Hazel Middle School.

This conversation really runs the gamut…everything from how and when to go for a deep dive with your children, to navigating the pitfalls of social media.

In addition, Detective Garza provides several resources for parents in terms of how we can address some of the tough topics…mental health, and substance abuse just to list a couple.

Here are links and phone numbers to those resources…
