-Act aware, calm, and confident so people will listen to you more and bother you less
Be safe with words to protect your feelings & use your words more safely, too!
Spot trouble early – and move away from it to get distance and protect feelings and bodies
Set clear respectful boundaries so people know what you want what you do NOT want
Practice & use the Kidpower Boundary & Consent Rules so everyone knows the rules about touch and attention for play, fun, and affection – & about when they don’t have a choice
Get help from adults when you have a safety problem including understanding when to interrupt – and how to persist
Make family agreements about being online so everyone knows what is and is not OK – and how to check first if you aren’t sure!

Instructor: Cady DeLay

About the InstructorWhile originally from San Diego, Cady moved to Monterey in 2022 to study and then pursue scientific illustration. Although her location has changed, her passions remain constant: art and the ocean. Her work focuses on color and exaggerated detail to make the subject more recognizable, accessible, and fun! Recently, she has focused more on 3D pieces, starting with making a four-foot interactive model of a bottlenose dolphin to demonstrate how a dolphin’s body acclimates to diving. Cady has been an exhibiting artist in the Museum’s annual exhibit of science illustration, The Art of Nature, for the past two years.

Market Match
Market Match offers farmers’ market customers a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10 on their CalFresh (food stamp) cards at the Live Oak Market.
