Parenting For Smoking Prevention (98553)R
For presenting to parents of teens ages 13-17
A decision made very early in a person's life can lead to a lifetime of tobacco addiction. About 4 out of 5 adults who use tobacco began smoking as adolescents. Today, about 3,000 young people under the age of 18 become regular smokers -- every day. What can a parent do to help their child avoid this deadly trap?
Parents can learn important communication and lifestyle skills that will help them raise a nonsmoker -- and this presentation can help you teach these skills. Parents will learn how clear standards for healthy behavior need to be communicated -- especially to young children. They will learn how children still see pro-smoking messages in magazines, movies, TV shows, and sports events, and how these messages can influence their child. And they will learn how they can help their child avoid the influence to smoke.
This presentation will let you quickly and easily educate parents about:
- the health effects of smoking and the power of nicotine
- why children are at risk
- media and peer pressures to use tobacco
- strategies to help their children refuse to use tobacco products.
Package also includes 25 copies each of these realistically illustrated booklets:
"Staying Smoke-Free -- The Healthy Choice" (71852)A
"Protecting Children From Secondhand Smoke" (75758)A
