"KEEPING CONNECTED" KITS

It is not our intent to sell the products offered in our "Keeping Connected" Kits. We have taken great care to offer products that are well tested and reliable. We have talked with the manufacturers and are confident that they are aware of the health issues we want adolescents to address.

The real purpose of the kits is:

1. to make both the adolescent and parent aware of reliable products
   
2. to instruct them about the safety issues involved
   
3. to develop critical thinking skills and decision making processes, and
   
4. to promote more effective ways for communication to take place.

# 01-001 - Safety Kit - Safety is an issue for girls of all ages. The problems may vary with the stages of growth through adolescence, but the need for awareness on the part of the girl and her parent(s) is crucial to her health and well-being. Products included with this kit are a warning alarm, a whistle, and a flashlight key chain. A "Tip Card" is provided for instruction and guidance for both the adolescent and her parent(s). These articles are packages in a canvas drawstring Double Sunrise bag.

"KEEPING CONNECTED" WORKBOOKS

Our workbooks are designed to be used either individually or together with a parent or adult. It is important to point out that in either case, they still strongly encourage connection. The text and exercises are aimed toward developing critical thinking and problem solving skills.
