| Publisher Description: Instead of using fear to teach about violence prevention, Kidpower makes it FUN to learn to stay safe - both with strangers and with people they know. Without putting scary messages into children's minds, we can prepare them to avoid most assault, kidnapping, and abuse.After promoting positive messages widely for over a quarter of a century, we are glad that many safety programs now use Kidpower's Check First and Stranger Safety language rather than giving children confusing and scary messages like: "Don't talk to strangers " and "Stranger Danger " Believing that the world is full of dangerous people they don't know and must never talk to does not make kids safer - it just makes them anxious. Kidpower's Positive Practice Teaching Method prepares kids to to handle difficult and potentially dangerous situations in ways that help to increase confidence, reduce worry, and develop competence.In this Teaching Book, you will find cartoon-illustrated lessons from Kidpower's exceptional People Safety curriculum with explanations, stories, skill practice coaching guides, and Kidpower Safety Signals about: - Noticing When You are Together or On Your Own- Stranger Safety Rules- Thinking First To Assess What Is and Is Not Safe- Checking First Before You Go Even With People You KnowThe Kidpower Teaching Book series is designed to make it easy for caring adults to use our "People Safety" curriculum with children and youth in their classrooms, youth programs, and families. Stay tuned for our school and organizational packages that will include training for professionals to effectively teach and practice skills to keep kids safe.Kidpower strategies and skills help to protect young people from most bullying, abuse, kidnapping, and other violence - as well as to prepare them to develop strong relationships that enrich their lives.Learn more at www.Kidpower.org and check out our abundant FREE online library of resources. |
