Please come work with your child.
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 useful and important Kidpower presentation!
COST: Free
QUESTIONS: Call Leatha Hay, Counselor, 685-2160 or your teacher with questions.
