About the Book:

How can parents keep their kids safe and healthy when it comes to drug and alcohol abuse? "Not All Kids Do Drugs" is a hands-on, accessible, step-by-step guide that tells parents exactly how to get the job done.

 

Part one deals with the issues surrounding teen use: Does it have to happen? Can you teach teens how to drink moderately and safely? Can we learn anything from how Europeans drink? What do parents need to know about school-based drug education?

  

Part two is the heart of the book. It provides direct ideas about how to create the safest world for your children; one that has the lowest risk of damage and danger caused by drugs and alcohol. In part two, you'll find "The Big Three" things you can do to lower the risk of drug and alcohol use by your children, as well as information about the most effective actions to take when it comes to teen parties, curfews, media, non-use policies, peer pressure, consequences of use, communication and goal setting. This section will even tell you what to say to your kids if you have ever used drugs at an earlier point in your life. These hands-on actions are easy to learn and will directly influence the environment your children grow up in.

 

Part three tells the authors' stories, and explores the nature of drug use, addiction, and the unforeseen consequences of drug and alcohol use that begins in the teen years. The authors have spent 15 years refining their knowledge of drugs and alcohol, and they strive daily to simplify this complex subject into understandable terms that can make this knowledge applicable in our every day lives. They believe drug education is not just about drugs; it's also about communication, life skills, and relationships. They see drugs not as the problem, but as a symptom of bigger problems that aren't being dealt with in an effective way. This book is intended to help families make healthy and informed choices, and thereby reduce the likelihood drugs and alcohol will play a negative role in their lives.

News For Your Classroom

Simplifying a Complex Subject

Welcome back to the 2010-2011 school year!

We spent the summer working on 2 things:

1: Our book is finished and will be officially released next week, so watch for the next email.

2: We've created News For Your Classroom Discussion - Simplifying A Complex Subject.

You can find us at milestogodrugeducation.com/Twitterlog.html

On our twitter news page you can scroll through the posts, click and listen.

Each day we simplify current scientific news reports and studies about drugs, drug abuse and prevention on our twitter news page. These 140 character tweets are available below with their links.

Several times per month we will provide you with these drug fact updates as an audio podcast and blog which will be available on our website as well as itunes and podbean.

When you log on to this page you can view our daily tweets that we call daily drug fact updates. Use these real articles and studies as topics of discussion for your classroom, advisors' group, mentors' activities, health class, debate, homeroom, science, biology, human development, psychology, home school discussions, family conversations, faculty meetings, etc.

Substance abuse is one of the few subjects that involves many different disciplines.

a. For example it is social, cultural, biological, spiritual, psychological, medical, and historical.

b. This is why it can be integrated into many different subjects.

We think that drug prevention education should be about:

• Communication,

• Decision making,

• Problem solving,

• Family and general life skills.

On our website you can subscribe to itunes, podbean, twitter and our blog sites to have it sent directly to your email box or your ipod.

In addition to these free subscriptions an MP3 player will be available on our website located on the twitter news page. All you need to do is click and listen to get your news for discussions in your classroom.

Our expanded subscription service extra tweets, questions, and expanded discussion from Kelly & Jonathan about the subject and tweets that are not included in our free service. It’s like getting a mini lecture for your classroom. You can sign up for it on our web site’s twitter news page at milestogodrugeducation.com

Be sure to send us an email to let us know how you use this service.
