One of my biggest fears as a mother is keeping my child safe. In today’s world a child needs to know how to protect themselves from all sorts of dangers.

I mean, let’s face it, the world is a completely different place than when we were young. There are new dangers they are facing – in-person stranger danger, bullies, only cyber issues and so on. It’s getting crazy out there.

I think that’s why I am so passionate about teaching my son how to protect himself. Plus, helping other parents take the guesswork and the worry out of teaching their own kids self defense tips.

We need to make sure our kids are protected by:

Doing An Audit. We need to be reviewing which apps they use on their devices, who they are chatting with, and what their passwords are.

Teaching Them To Ask. We need to empower our children to know who to ask for help. In the video I mention how not every adult is okay to ask for help from.

Showing Them When To Sound An Alarm. Having our children carry personal alarms and safety whistles is a smart move. That way they can know it’s okay to draw attention to themselves if they start to feel unsafe.

Teaching Them Our Name. From an early age our kids need to be taught their parents’ names. That way if they get separated from us they will know who to ask for, besides Mommy and Daddy, so we can be reunited faster.
