THE KIDS
The biggest challenges
kids face today are:
- Bullying
- Predator/stranger danger
- Pedestrian safety
Our Kids Program makes children aware of adverse confrontations and teaches them how to listen to their “inner voice.” With fun, interactive, and age appropriate content – we equip kids with the tools they need to handle adverse and uncomfortable situations. The S.T.A.R. Concepts team includes a “Protect Your Power” assembly where children learn to recognize
different types of bullying behaviors – like teasing,
exclusion from others and name calling.
We cover topics like “Safety Armor,” verbal self-defense and zero tolerance. They also learn how to recognize what constitutes “normal conflict” and how important it is to:
- Display confidence
- Remain calm
- React quickly
- Use their voices to attract attention if necessary
This program arms them with relevant and applicable strategies to break down the barriers of life’s challenges. They can navigate difficult situations and create a culture of DIGNITY and SOCIAL COMPETENCE – which may be hard to achieve in their socially pressured world.
Students also learn and practice demonstrations on how to help each other when another is experiencing bullying.
The class is 1.5 hours long and designed for K to 6th grade. By the time they’re done, they are way more confident than before the class started.
Administrators, teachers, staff and parents have the opportunity to make a difference each day. Now don’t you think it’s time for our kids to have a turn!
We increase and create an emotionally safe climate for kids in their schools, homes and neighborhoods.
