THE ESSENTIALS
Arm them with information. Every child needs to know their full name, home address and parent’s phone number. Its also important they understand to push “911″ on any phone to get help.
Use the buddy system, avoid having them walk anywhere alone. If they ever are alone and a stranger tries to lure or physically pull them away, have the child prepared with these three vital steps:
1) stop what you are doing
2) run away
3) tell an adult
Empower them with self defense training. If a real situation occurs (danger from either an adult or other kids) the child needs to be ready and know what to do. In addition, martial art training builds self confidence which helps to stop bullying and enable them to deal correctly with negative peer pressure. Get Them Started
