Kindness never goes out of style! Nor does the power of individuality. Knowing how to remain faithful to self is especially useful when confronted by others who desire to impose their negative behavior on others.
In "Barry Bear's Very Best, Learning to Say No to Negative Influences," Barry is a caring, considerate bear. He is kind to his neighbors, attentive in school, and helpful around the house. Both his mother and father are proud of him. Barry is pleased to be authentically unique, all the way down to his bow tie and sweater vest!
Barry's character is put to the test when new cubs move into his neighborhood. They are neither kind nor considerate. They bully Barry by preventing him from his chores, helping others, and while in school. These cubs also have other negative traits that cause Barry to seek the advice of his mom.
She reminds Barry of all that is wonderful about him and empowers him with tools that aid him in learning to say no to their negative influences. Through the illustrations, the reader will see Barry's positive examples rub off on the other cubs; they learn to be helpful at home and friendly. Positivity I.S. contagious!
A Message from the Author:
I wrote this book based on a poem I created for my daughters' school when they were in Kindergarten and second grade. The title of the poem is, "With these hands."
"With these hands, I want to say,
I won't use drugs in any way.
I'll use my hands for fun and play;
to learn to help in every way.
My little fingers will NOT abuse.
It's NO to drugs and alcohol use. "
I used this poem during Red Ribbon Week as part of D.A.R.E.S. anti-drug school initiative. The entire school participated in the activity I created around the verses. Why is it essential that our children have authenticity and say no to the use of drugs and alcohol?
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Department of Education, Growing Up Drug-Free: A Parent's Guide to Prevention, Washington, D.C. 2012, before leaving elementary school, your children should know:
-The immediate effects of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use on different parts of the body, including risks of coma or fatal overdose
-The long-term consequences – how and why drugs can be addicting and make users lose control of their lives
- The reasons why drugs are especially dangerous for growing bodies
- The problems that alcohol and other illegal drugs cause not only to the user but the user's family and world
Barry Bear's Very Best, Learning to Say No to Negative Influences follows the mission of D.A.R.E. They envision a world in which students everywhere respect others and choose to lead lives free from violence, substance use, and other dangerous behaviors," by not teaching them how to "say no" to negative influences, but how to "say yes" to positive influences.
