Word of Say Yes to No
spreads quickly, with school and community groups starting book reads all over
the state. Here’s what one parent did:
“I attended a Say Yes to No event with Erin Walsh as the speaker. As a result, I am working
with our local police chief, the director of our youth probation and our local
chemical health initiative group to initiate a Say Yes to No book club through the schools.” -A parent
One person can have a lot of
impact in a community. We’re also
spreading the word using the Internet with this blog, eNews, etc. Here’s one website that has picked up on the
importance of Say Yes to No for kids:
PlayTimePlanIt.com – a website with great things to do with kids in the Twin
Cities. Here’s what they say:
“It seems kids
these days are overweight, overindulged and over stimulated. If you have
concerns, check out this great campaign based on the book No! Why Kids of
All Ages Need to Hear It by local author and child and family advocate, David Walsh.”
