Awareness and Self Defense for Children
The importance of personal training for children cannot be overstressed. Schools and parents do a great job at teaching children bike safety, swimming rules, and fire safety. But unfortunately the extent of personal safety is usually a few minutes here and there with such tips as, " Don't talk to strangers."
In our ever changing world, the need for children to be street smart should be on every parents mind. It is important for our children to become skilled as their very own bodyguards but it is just as important that this knowledge be gained in a safe and nurturing enviroment. At the Pelletier's Academy we strive to make children aware but not scared. Please feel free to copy this personal safety information and review it with your child.
Basic Safety Rules-
-Know your address, phone number, parents work number, and any other emergency number.
-Be familiar with your child's friends and their parents.
-Know your child's school's absent rules.
-Always tell your parents where you are going and what time you will be home.
-Never go anywhere with someone you do not know.
-Always stay 2 to 3 arms lengths away from an adult you do not know.
If you tell the person to go and they step towards you run, yell, and go tell an adult.
-Have a family password and never tell anyone other than your parents what that word is.
-Adults should not be asking children they do not know for help.
-Even if you know an adult who is asking you for help, ask your parents before assisting that person.
-Walk with confidence and keep your head up.
-Keep you shoes tied at all times.

-Never allow an adult you do not know to take your picture. Tell your parents right away if someone you do not know tries to do this.
