There are posters, magazines and a teacher's guide for using the material. There is a CD-ROM that teaches middle school children how drugs damage their minds and bodies. And there is a website that is already up and running. Children learn by the example their parents set. Children learn when they feel comfortable talking to their parents.
Children learn when a parent is willing to listen and explain.
That's why parents are so critical to this fight. They need to help their children understand that drugs attack the body, deaden the mind, and build a wall between them and their dreams, because the only thing drugs have ever done for childhood is bring it to an early end. So let's all of us commit ourselves to locking arms with parents. To having the programs, information, and support they need - when they need it. To never giving up until this renewed glimmer of hope becomes as bright as the midday sun.
