It has been shown that children who are taught refusal skills are more likely to make positive choices and refrain from engaging in high-risk behaviors. It’s important to help children set limits for themselves and say "no" to outside pressures. This increases their self-confidence. When children learn to stop and consider the consequences before responding to a request, as well as a variety of ways to say "no," they become more accomplished at refusing to participate in anything that could harm themselves or others. In this program, several simple refusal techniques are modeled and demonstrated.
