How to get my dad to stop bad habits?
specifically looking for advice from BIPOC (people of color!) parents here just so the advice is more relevant to my dad because he's asian. (you can still answer if youre not bipoc though)
for backround info incase its useful, I'm 17 and my dad's health habits are terrible. im not exactly seeking medical advice but more like "how i can encourage him to change his behavior?"
Problems he has: he's a drinker, not heavy, but almost daily beer. He constantly has his headphones in, to the point where he's gone deaf in one ear. I MEAN like constantly, even when he's sleeping, he's always watching youtube. and doesnt seem to ever take them off unless we're in public (still has them sometimes)
i quite frankly dont understand how he's glued to his phone more than I am
options that wont work : therapy, the doctor, locking his screen time, telling him to stop, making friends (he refuses)
help 😭
