You Can Choose!
with Michael Pritchard provides teachers, librarians, and
counselors with a terrific springboard for group discussion,
and a powerful enhancement to any character education or life
skills curriculum.
You Can
Choose! starts children on the path to positive, healthful
life choices. This delightful videotape series teaches young
people valuable lessons that contribute to self-discipline,
good decision-making, high self-esteem, a sense of responsibility,
and the ability to get along with others.
Warm, humorous, and highly entertaining,
You Can Choose! combines comedy,
drama, music, peer-education, and role modeling into a lively
format that captivates and challenges young viewers. Each
program in the series presents a compelling dramatic skit
depicting a problem situation which is very real for children.
While the skits are performed by a lovable cast of characters,
the problems are ultimately resolved by the children, themselves.
