One of the quickest and easiest safety tips we give to children is to SCREAM and LOOK FOR UNIFORMS!
We don’t like to imagine our loved little ones in dangerous situations, but the reality is they will inevitably be in one at some point in their life.
Teaching children it is okay to scream for help, who to run to and what to say can really help and make a massive difference in the outcome of the situation, be that a medical emergency, simply being lost, or an attempted attack for something more sinister.
We teach children to look for someone in a uniform first, such as Police or a Security Guard. Second is someone wearing a vest. Whether if it is a cashier at Walmart or the cart employee in the supermarket parking lot, a vest is a good piece of apparel to look for to know who works there and who can be of help.
Third is an adult woman (before an adult man). Kids feel more natural and safe approaching a strange woman more so than a strange man, and the maternal instinct of the woman can quickly help defend and help save the child.
If you need help in teaching your children realistic, quality self defense and you live in North Texas and the Dallas/#Fort Worth area please consider booking a COBRA™ course with me for your children.
Because guardian need to be “guardians” in every sense of the word these days. Children are fragile and precious. So too is childhood. It is a shame how quickly kids have to grow up these days. It is a crime when trauma of any kind compromises human potential, but so much more so when senseless acts result in the scarring of innocents.
Because one child is too many.
