TGFD - Maximizing Lifefor Grade 8 lays the groundwork for drug-free living through a fun and interactive journey of setting reachable goals, communicating effectively, making responsible decisions, managing emotions, and refusing negative peer pressure.
Equipped with the skills developed throughout the course, students can better prepare, plan, and evaluate their choices. By differentiating impulsive behavior and thoughtful decisions and examining how goals, media, peers, and family influence their decisions, eighth graders will be better prepared to take actions consistent with their short-term and long-term goals.
Incorporating their emotional management, effective communication, and social awareness skills, students practice applying their empathy with their friends to provide the healthy qualities their friends need in a variety of predicaments in The Buddy System. Lessons also explore the risks and harmful effects alcohol, tobacco, THC, and marijuana have on the developing brain and body as well as the dangers associated with the misuse of prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Home Workouts and cross-curricular activities follow each lesson so students can practice and apply the concepts developed in each lesson at home and with their peers
