Health promoters may be interested in the following exchange!

I strongly object to this strategy.

First of all it is not child care's role to turn children against their parents
or relatives who may be smokers.

Secondly, childcare should not be a place where children become exposed to
politicized messages.  If my kid came home from childcare singing anti-smoking
songs the childcare would hear about it.

Thirdly, our family does not smoke!

Give these kids a break!!!

 Subject: [heart-l] Resources for Preschoolers









Our Tobacco Working Group is looking for a simple resource
(book, song,etc.) that can be used in daycares for children ages 1
to 3 years old that incorporates a tobacco prevention message.
Has anyone used a resource with this age group they found to be
effective?
You can reply to me directly at [log in to unmask]

Thanks!
