Drugs and Alcohol: Happy, Healthy, Drug-Free Me: Part 01

Drug-prevention experts agree that the earlier children are introduced to the dangers of drug abuse, the better their chances of staying drug-free in their pre-teen and teen years. The first program in this two-part series sets the stage by helping youngsters understand that they are remarkable individuals with very special physical, mental, and emotional traits. It then shows that when children behave in certain ways, they may end up feeling badly about themselves. It is pointed out that while all of us can choose how to behave, it's not always easy to know what's best. Rules often help us make the right decisions. There are rules for behavior at home, at school, and for taking medicine. Rules also help us make the right decisions when it comes to putting things in to our bodies. There are rules against children using tobacco products and alcoholic beverages because those things are very harmful to young people.
