Politeness vs. Protection- Safety Tips for Children (ages 7-12)

We teach our children to have good manners, respect adults and follow the rules.  But sometimes, we forget to teach our children how to determine when these practices should be used and when it is time to drop the politeness and focus on protection.

In this class, learn about self-defense of the mind.  It is important that our children know what to do in an emergency, when it’s okay to speak out against issues, how to say “NO” and understand the tricks and temptations predators use to entice children into unsafe situations.  Children will learn not only by listening to the program, but also by the use of cartoon examples and interactive drawing and discussion.  Mrs. Baumer background as a Manner’s and Etiquette instructor, and a Self-Defense instructor combines her knowledge to keep children, and parents aware.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to stay for the program, but are not required to.
