Testimonial

Bravo for Kidpower Pennsylvania! ​As a clinician, psychotherapist and family counselor for more than 35 years, I am happy to recommend Kidpower as a gold standard for teaching important social safety skills.

 

​In an environment of support and mutual learning, Kidpower is a structured educational program that is both interactive and inter-generational. The exercises teach parents and their children how to build awareness, confidence and competence, define appropriate boundaries, safe touch, and even how to protect oneself from bullies and strangers. These essential life skills are critical in this digitally-connected time where the key to being safe is to look up from our screens, pay attention to each other, the world around us, and the feelings within us.
