   Washington, D.C. - Some see prescribed drugs as the solution to
children's woes, but not Lisa Fine, author of How to Keep Your Kids Off Drugs.
Fine believes children will be better off without taking mind-altering drugs.
   The recent shooting at Granite Hills High School in El Cajon,California,
raises fresh questions in our minds as to the part prescription drugs, such as
Ritalin and Effexor, might be playing in these schoolyard disasters. Fine,
meanwhile, shares practical how-to's of drug-free living within the pages of her
book.
                For those who take drugs by choice, the exact reasons why they do are
quickly revealed. The booklet then details what people can do to effectively
deal with those reasons, putting an end to them through surprisingly simple
methods. By way of a bonus, Fine's book makes it clear how to raise children to
be not only drug-free, but also healthy and, dare it be said, happy. You can use
this information with kids of any age, per Fine. Even expecting parents can
gain insight desirable from the start.
   Parents and teachers will also learn an easy, but effective method of
disciplining kids which doesn't involve chains, palms or drugs, but actually gets
the job done.
                Says Fine, "Many of my children's friends asked me if they could read
the book. I'm glad, now, that I wrote it simply, so kids could easily get it. One
teenager I know quit smoking after he read it. He's so happy with himself."
   "This is an important book," states Nancy Smoller, owner of Book
Clearing House, a New York-based firm. Smoller adds, "It is such a worthwhile
piece of work. People can really benefit from it."
