Nutrition and Wellness:

State and local School Districts, as well as Society in general, is faced with an ever increasing child Diabetes epidemic! This epidemic can be traced directly to the ever increasing trend of child obesity. The number of overweight children between the ages of 6 - 11 has more than doubled since 1980 and for teens that rate has tripled. Additionally, Hispanics and African Americans are twice as likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes!

Baux Publishing, with it's proven passion for children and education, was founded on the premise to focus on thre key educational initiatives: 1) the development of a curriculum that directly aligns with the ever increasing State and Federal mandates (WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004) that require public schools to provide increased amounts of physical activity and health & wellness instruction; 2) the development of a health and wellness curriculum that engages children BOTH mentally and physically; and 3) the development of a supplemental curriculum that is not just classroom centric but also extends the boundaries of health and wellness instruction to the home (family) and address Section 1118 of NCLB for increased parental involvement by focusing on thre key elements:

• Building Involvement
• Providing materials and training to help parents to work with their children regarding health and wellness

School Safety, Anti-Bullying, and Decision Making Series:

Baux Publishing's Anti-Bullying, Anti-Crime, and Decsion Making series provides an interactive curriculum-based approach that presents actual video scenarios from a student's point of view in which students must choose responses to particular problems and issues / situations that are real world, and are faced throughout the developmental phases of their lives. These curriculums introduce a fresh and new technique trademarked 'Motivational Interviewing'. This research based approach is a non-threatening, non-confrontational technique which encourages students to engage and reveal information that they normally would repress. In addition these curriculums contain research and data that are skill building tools for teachers, counselors, and facilitators as well as the students. Each scenario choosen allows the viewer / user to witness first-hand the consequences of his or her decision.

Each interactive program in the series contains an embedded interactive assessment and evaluation procedure whereby youngsters answers key questions to determine for themselves and the teacher their positive growth and development.
