I think 6 year olds can grasp the idea of abusing something. You eat too much candy, you feel sick. A little candy, once in a while, is OK. Abusing drugs is bad. Taking medicine when appropriate is fine.
I think it's good of the schools to be presenting this stuff. They just aren't doing it properly in your daughter's case. The proof is that she misunderstood the lesson. I wouldn't hold this against your teacher. There is probably some state-wide program that dictates exactly what has to be presented to the kids and when.
Was this a school-wide assembly? Or was it taught in the kidergarden classroom?
