Future Horizons Releases Drug Awareness Book for Kids

Future Horizons, an organization dedicated to educational materials, has released a new book titled "Bobby and Mandee's Too Wise for Drugs" by Robert Kahn. The book, aimed at children, introduces key concepts in a straightforward manner, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Robert Kahn, a master’s degree holder in education, has a personal background in teaching and law enforcement. His experience as a sixth-grade teacher led him to become concerned about the safety issues children face, which eventually prompted him to become a Deputy Sheriff. During his tenure, he developed a "Stranger Danger" program that has successfully thwarted over 40 attempted abductions by strangers, earning local law enforcement's commendation.

In "Bobby and Mandee's Too Wise for Drugs," Kahn uses the voices of his children, Bobby and Mandee, to narrate the stories. Mandee, who has high-functioning autism, plays a central role in the books. Kahn emphasizes the simplicity of the language, ensuring that the concepts are easy to understand and that anyone can benefit from them. The books not only introduce the concepts but also provide practical tips on how to handle them.

Kahn believes that if his children can understand the books, anyone can. He stresses the straightforward nature of the writing to make the content relatable and comprehensible to a broad audience. The simplicity of the language is particularly advantageous for children who might find complex language challenging.

Future Horizons publishes and distributes the books, making them available to schools and communities. The company focuses on producing educational materials that are both engaging and informative, ensuring that the message of safety and responsibility reaches as many children as possible.

"Stranger Danger" and other safety programs have proven effective in preventing incidents, and "Bobby and Mandee's Too Wise for Drugs" aims to continue this legacy by addressing the issue of drug awareness in a way that is both educational and age-appropriate. The book is designed to equip children with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of their environment safely and confidently.
