KIDPOWER is a non-profit organization that teaches interpersonal safety and confidence-building skills to young people. The KIDPOWER approach ensures that every child practices every skill presented through carefully formatted activities and role-play. Your child will build confidence, self-esteem and awareness in dealing with bullies, strangers and adults they know. KIDPOWER is successful because skills are taught in a way that is not scary or overwhelming, but matter-of-fact and fun!
Kids will learn to:
Be aware and confident
Keep a safe distance from a stranger
Avoid getting engaged in unwanted conversation
Use voice and body to escape a threatening situation
Get help from busy adults
Deal with emotional coercion and intimidation
Set boundaries on touch with people they know
Deal with bullies
WHY PARENTS? It is important for parents to have a common vocabulary with your kids so when and if safety issues come up you are able to talk to your kids in a way that is not scary or overwhelming. So please join us for this very important Kidpower presentation!!!
