description: This acclaimed book is the most recommended guide for parents to help them meet the growing problem of "kids and pot" as well as other drug prevention issues. Since its initial publication in 1989, health education and parenting experts from Dr. Spock to Eda LeShan, Lynda Madaras, and Congressman Charles Rangel have recommended the book for its wisdom and practical advice.Now fully revised to cover tobacco as well as alcohol and drugs, this important work presents Dr. Schwebel's three-part "curriculum" on Empowerment, the Exchange of Information, and Intervention so that children can make life-protecting decisions about drugs for themselves. He discusses the life skills necessary to "inoculate" them against substance abuse -- self-confidence, security, cooperation, decision-making -- and shows parents how to encourage these skills from an early age. Included are numerous sample dialogues for younger as well as older children.
