Book Description
Like adults, kids make choices daily and in many different ways-freely, obligingly, casually, studiously, alertly, habitually, playfully, wisely, impulsively. Occasionally a poor choice leads to a good outcome, but, as anyone who has suffered the consequences of a foolish mistake can attest, good outcomes usually come from wise, thoughtful decision making. This book is based on two beliefs: One, that making wise choices is a teachable, learnable process, and two, that developing the skill (and habit) of wise choice-making automatically reduces the incidence of risky behavior. Focusing on key ingredients like self-esteem and personal strength, the authors provide essential health and safety information and guidelines while teaching vital decision-making skills. Activities are fun and engaging, yet packed with enough important information and skill practice to put even clueless pushovers on a speedy path to wise choice making. Topic areas include: Self-EsteemOTC Drugs, Smoking and Marijuana Stress Management Peer and Gang Pressure Decision Making and Problem Solving Resistance and Refusal Skills Anger Management Role Models & Support Systems Health & Safety Grades 3-6 |
