I highly recommend KIDPOWER, a worldwide safety education program for children and teens. Trained and certified local KIDPOWER educator, Laura Slesar, will be hosting two classes coming up in May.
Kidpower events May 10, 2014 at Lake Champlain Waldorf High School campus, 735 Ferry Road, Charlotte VT.
1) “Starting Strong with Kidpower” Workshop for Children Ages 3-5 and their Adults: a 50-minute introduction to People Safety Skills with your young child. Stories, puppets and interactive role plays introduce simple but powerful skills to handle unkind words, check first before touching something unsafe, move away from someone doing unsafe things such as throwing sand or playing too roughly, and get help from you effectively, even when you are busy. A few simple but powerful skills help kids notice, stop, and get help with potential safety problems like these and many others. 11:00-11:50 am. $30 fee includes the child's adult(s) and our Kidpower Safety Comic book (retail $12).
2) Kidpower Safety Workshop for Children Ages 6-12 and their Adults: an upbeat workshop in which children learn assertiveness and boundary-setting skills they can use right away to feel safer and more confident at home, with peers, and out and about in the world - as well as emergency-only physical self-defense skills. Their adults are coached in how to practice these skills with their children. 1:00-5:00 pm. $100 fee includes the child's adult(s).
