| | Grades |
| | Friendships are relationships that improve the quality of our lives. These friendships can be with peers or even family. No matter what else you think is part of a |
| | friendship, there are three important components that are always guaranteed to improve it. Those things are Sharing, doing and Talking. Friends can act as a safety |
| | net when we occasionally slip and fall. In this video we introduce young viewers to the importance of friendship and the social skills necessary to make friends and |
| | keep them. 1994 |
| | THE FAIR WEATHER FRIEND | 26 minutes | 1, 2, 3, 4 |
| | Grades |
| | A.J. and The Human Race Club learn valuable lessons about making and keeping friends in "The Fair Weather Friend." A.J.'s boasting about flying to Disneyland with |
| | his "super-rich" friend doesn't impress his Human Race Club friends. In trying to win a new friend, A.J. neglects his most valued relationships. This video will help |
| | kids understand that being a friend takes special effort and that friends should be chosen for who they are, not for what they have. |
| | THE FOURTH "R" RESPONSIBILITY | 24 minutes | 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |

| | to discuss the decisions that they think the protagonist in each scenario should make. |
| | THE GENTLE ART OF SAYING NO: PRINCIPLES OF ASSERTIVENESS | 40 minutes | 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
| | Grades |
| | THE GENTLE ART OF SAYING NO: PRINCIPLES OF ASSERTIVENESS 41 min. (each part 13 min.), color, instruction/role play filmstrip-on-video production Grades 7 |
| | and up Most young people need help learning how to say "no" to things they really don't want to do. In this three-part video, assertiveness-training techniques are |
| | taught to help students feel comfortable rejecting ideas and actions contrary to their own personal values. Real-life situations are presented to demonstrate how |
| | these techniques can be effectively used in a positive, sensitive and non-aggressive manner. THE GENTLE ART OF SAYING NO: A PERSON HAS A RIGHT 13 min., |
| | color, instruction/role play, filmstrip-on video production Grades 7 and up Establishes that people have human rights that they must not allow to be violated: to make |
| | or refuse a request, to judge and bear the consequences for their actions and to be treated fairly. Emphasizes the necessity for assertiveness, the rationale for its |
| | practice, and its ultimate goal of increased self-respect. THE GENTLE ART OF SAYING NO: MAKING IT WORK 13 min., color, instruction/role play, filmstrip-on video |
| | production Grades 7 and up Demonstrates a simple assertiveness technique in dramatic situations especially geared for teenagers: assertiveness with a |
| | persuasive member of the opposite sex (Mike wants Candy to go with him to the local bar); with a peer group (Dan's friends want him to cut class with them and go |
| | to the movies); and with an adult authority (a gossiping neighbor tries to pry personal family information out of a friend's son). THE GENTLE ART OF SAYING NO: |
| | HANDLING THE HARD ONES 13 min., color, instruction/role play, filmstrip-on video production Grades 7 and up Elaborates techniques for assertiveness beyond the |
| | simple one described in "Making it Work." In a group session directed by a therapist, students role-play various situations which demonstrate techniques, such as: |
| | learning to make clear, non-apologetic statements; controlling body language; knowing whose problem is whose; rejecting guilt; taking the offensive; and accepting |
| | compromise. |

| | good person, still the same old Jamie. |
