The part I like the most about this video is showing how medicines can look like food or drinks and to always ask permission from a trusted adult. The video is well done and explains everything little ones need to know to be cautious around medicine. It also opens the door for future conversations on this topic.

I am so grateful to DCMP for the quality content of this video. As I searched for online materials to supplement my drug awareness lessons for K-2, this video is the only one I found about medicine that I felt was appropriate for the younger students. Worth the time spent completing the required media responses.
