Active Safety for Kids (A.S.K.)
We provide cutting edge personal safety training in a fun, interactive learning environment to elementary students. Our formats are flexible enough to meet a wide range of needs and are usually tailored to the concerns of parents, teachers and the students themselves.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Internet Predators
- Self-Worth & Empowerment
- Domestic Predators
- Boundaries/Privacy
- Stranger Abductions
- Trusting Intuition & Feelings
- Latch Key Kids
- Voice Power
- Lost Children
- Physical Attacks
Our training is simple and realistic. Street smart, empowered children with strong self-images are not likely to be selected by predators, so our program is designed to foster positive, pro-active behavior in their relationships with both peers and adults.
The focus of our training relies heavily on positive modeling, that is, teaching children what healthy adult-child relationships consist of so that a deviation from the norm is readily apparent.
We also stress honoring intuition as an accurate indicator of threat. There are many groups whose focus is on what parents and teachers can do to protect our children and while we fully endorse their efforts, our primary focus is on what children themselves can do, what they believe and how they interpret their surroundings.
We offer our services to schools because we believe a school curriculum should not be limited solely to academics, but should educate children in healthy relationships, first with themselves, secondly with others and that this understanding forms the cornerstone of personal safety for every child.
Platform
- The solution to violence in America is the acceptance of reality. 93% of all child victims know the predator, ergo our focus on positive relationships and reality-based training.
- The #1 danger to children is being persuaded. Low self image is the leading cause of passive behavior in children. They accept unhealthy “friendships” because they fail to connect with their own peers.
- The best thing a child can do to improve his/her own self worth is to help someone else. Identifying children at risk and transitioning them into children at play is the healthiest and most effective method of protecting them, especially when they themselves are the catalyst for this change.
- Predators move on when their food source is eliminated. To this end, we facilitate higher levels of self image, empowerment and awareness in children and we expose the methods and strategies of predators so their advances are quickly and easily recognized.
