HCHY List: Media and Promotion

[Derek Peterson]

Back in the late 90's, I contracted with Eric Bailey, in Juneau,  =

Alaska, to create a series of 20 radio spots, for Public Radio, that  =

would direct listeners to "building assets in children and youth." The  =

spots took a lot of hours and rewrites, because the audience  =

diversification was wide, and Eric kept thinking over and again that  =

he might only have one single spot to save a child's life. Touching a  =

broad audience in multiple cultures with a single spot takes a lot of  =

thought. Time and again he would wake up at three in the morning  =

thinking about phrasing. He'd go to bed at night asking how would a  =

fisherman react? A school teacher? Joe Six Pack? An Alaskan Native  =

Grandma ?

He wanted the best he could possibly do for the kids. Four of his  =

spots are posted below...These are formatted as scripts for the actual  =

read, so spacing may look a bit odd in some cases until you read them  =

out loud.

Eric can be reached at ericbaileyalaska at yahoo.com. For more  =

information, drop him a line. If you want a conversation on the  =

promotion side of youth development through asset building, you can  =

drop me a line at derek at icar-us.com.


Kids Need Wise Captains


When the wind picks up and the seas get rough, even the best of boats  =

and crews can be blown off course.    Captains know that when the  =

going gets tough, heading for any port in a storm is not always the  =

safe thing to do.

Kids need wise captains. Responsible adults they can talk to when the  =

sea of life kicks up.

A small amount of your time can make a big difference. Please=85talk  =

with a child today. Help them steer a straight course for safety.

Say I Love You


People really shouldn't say "I love you"

unless they mean it. But if they do, they should say it a lot.

Adults forget.  So do kids.
