Description

Raising Kids Who Can Protect Themselves

Author: Debbie and Mike Gardner

A dynamic program for empowering children to protect themselves from Harm

In Raising Kids Who Can Protect Themselves, Debbie and Mike Gardner share their decades of self-defense experience to show parents how to teach their children courage? The trait needed to make brave, smart, and safe choices, no matter what their age, no matter what the situation. Raising Kids Who Can Protect Themselves helps families foster courage in their children at an early age so that it becomes an inherent trait, rather than a situational need.

The book features:

• Age-appropriate methods to instill courage in children without creating fear
• Courage coaching as a way to create a “family? defense system
• Lifesaving skills, such as quality eye contact, voice control, breathing, control of inappropriate crying, development of positive self-talk, and space awareness
• Ways to reduce children’s vulnerability
• Site-specific survival strategies, from parties to the mall to sports practice

Every time I watch the nightly news, I thank God my wife and children have been trained by Debbie and Mike Gardner. Please, please, please read this book as a family. You will learn how to avoid the most dangerous situations and fight your way out of the rest. We live in a very different world today? Arm your family with the power of this book.
