Editorial Reviews

Kathryn Hart, Jeffrey Elementary School Madison, CT

"The video had a very open discussion. The kids were involved and the presenter was animated. The handbook has step by step instructions that can be used by teacher's as well as parents. I teach a health course which includes substance abuse. I plan to show this to 175 students throughout the year."

Product Description

This video shows kids what drugs really do and why they are not good to take. NARCONON has found the exact type of drug education presentation that gets kids' attention, keeps them interested and shows them why they shouldn't take drugs. They are actually given the real truth about drugs.

This video explains how drugs effect the mind and what happens to it when you take them. Never before has there been such a concise illustration on the truth about drugs. Real-life examples are used which kids, parents and teachers alike will relate to. The drug education presentation is fun, active, humorous and so simple even young children can understand it.

This drug education presentation WORKS.

"People are always telling us 'Don't do drugs', Bob Wiggins told us why not and answered my questions." -Student

"I used to think that a few times or once wouldn't hurt, but after hearing the talk I never even want to touch a drug." -Student

Bobby Wiggens is a master at delivering a serious message in a light, fun and comprehensible way. He injects personal experiences, wit and humor, and invites audience participation. This is a high-impact, must-use video for anyone who cares about children and their attitudes about drugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, effective education on drugs for our kids!, April 9, 2000

I am so relieved to find something that honestly communicates the dangers and evils of drugs at a kid level. And actually has the intended effect of discouraging drug use, where I've seen other programs with the net effect of encouraging (!) drug use. With the unparalleled success the Narconon program has in actual drug treatment, I am very optimistic that follow-up studies will demonstrate the effectiveness of their prevention programs. My experience with this program's initial showings is just as positive as the best reviews here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educating kids, not scaring them - the right approach., March 4, 2000

This review is from: The Truth About Drugs: What is it? [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Even though this video is geared towards kids, I learned some interesting facts about drugs. I have a little daughter, and I definitely will show her this video once she is old enough, because I think that she should know the simple truth about drugs and their effects. This will enable her to make an informed decision on drugs. I really liked this video.
