Parentpower: Safety for Young Children
Thursday, June 2nd, 2022 from 11am-12pm PT via Zoom
The time listed is in Pacific time. Click here to check your local time.
Learn the Kidpower approach for making safety a part of your daily life with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers in ways that are fun, positive, and practical – not scary!
In this workshop, parents and other parenting people will learn skills to:
- protect children from abuse, kidnapping, and other harm
- introduce and talk about safety without being scary
- teach ‘people safety’ as confidently as they teach manners, hygiene, and car safety
Use your skills right away to help young children:
- set boundaries including about body autonomy
- protect their feelings
- stay in charge of their bodies
- ask for help
- know the Safety Plan if they get lost
- follow your Stranger Safety rules
- check first with their grownups before they change their plan about where they are going, what they are doing, and who they are with.
