relationships, respect for
others, loyalty and the impor-
tance of being your own unique
self, lessons not always covered
in school curriculums. They
reflect positive influences that
build a child's self esteem.
Each story is accompanied by
a teacher's guide, which covers
discussion starters, lesson
objectives, and follow-up appli-
cations. The purpose of the les-
sons is to teach young people
good values and encourage dis-
cussion of values between
children, their parents and
other family members in a
home setting.
In Real Heroes, a war game
among a dozen boys and girls
results in several broken win-
dows at school. At the princi-
pal's office, the youngsters
learn from an Army veteran
that being an American hero
isn’t something that must hap
pen on a battlefield, but also
occurs by being a good citizen,
doing whatever they can for
their country.
In another story that takes
place in a video arcade, Brian
and Darrick must weigh the
chance to get free games dis
honestly against the effects of
such action. With the help of a
lesson learned from Darrick's
dad, honesty wins out.
These beautiful books are
made to last and are likely to
become keepsake editions for
the students. Local sponsors
provide this important gift to
the children because they know
young people are the most pre
clous resource of this communi-
ty. The local sponsors are: Auto

,At one time the worst discip-
line problems that those who

devastating. Schoolage parent-

Tbe Challenges of Schoolage
Parenthood
The prospects of a healthy
and Independent life for
schoolage parents and their
children are significantly
reduced. The infants bom to
teen parents face significant
developmental and health
risks. Teen mothers are more
likely to experience complica-
tiions during pregnancy and
experience poor birth out-
comes. Compared to those who
delay childbearing, teen
parents are more likely to
experience limited education-
al opportunities, chronic unem-
ployment, inadequate income
and to become and remain
dependent on public
assistance.
Communicating About
Sexuality
Teenagers indicate they want
more information from parents
about sexuality. Talking with
teens about sexuality allows
parents to communicate their
values, provide accurate infor-
mation, strengthen the teen's
skills in resisting peer pres-
sure, dispel the twisted views of
sexuality depicted in the medi-
a, foster healthy attitudes, and
encourage mutual honesty and
trust.
