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.

This US$60 program includes one-on-one support by email with questions before and after the workshop as well as links to resources – including 30-day access to a video recording of another Parentpower program – to help you and your family apply, adapt, and practice the skills.
