How safe is your child?
KSEG’s mission is a simple
one…
Help make the children safer.
The overwhelming response and constant requests from the
thousands of participants from our nationwide adult safety
education program helped us realize the need to help make
our children safer, too. Once our students asked the question,
we realized the answer was to educate children, parents and
educators with the best information and tools available.
Based on our successful Women’s Safety Education model,
our children’s seminar is a unique and comprehensive
program, containing age-appropriate safety information and
training designed to empower children in fun, skill-based,
interactive modules.
We’ve utilized information and tools from law enforcement,
the most current literature and recommendations from a wide
variety of experts in order to bring you the most cutting-edge
technologies and tools to help you keep your child safe.
Learning important and potentially life-saving skills will
help to make your child more confident, responsible and safe.
We offer a 1 hour program
for ages 4-11 that will include:
• Basic Safety Awareness: How to be a “tough
target” techniques that are a “must know”
for every child.
• Verbal Self-defense: Basic “What if”
scenarios with answers that are simple, direct, effective,
non-threatening and empowering* (based on the 8 most common
“lures” predators use).
• Physical Self-defense: Basic Defensive arts (based
on martial arts) techniques that physically empower kids.
• Internet Safety introduction
* Programs that include concepts such as “Stranger
Danger” can be potentially scary for children because
they have to differentiate between ok and not ok adults. Our
program is gentle, but effective.
Our
1-1/2 hour program for ages 12-17 that includes:
• Statistics and Safety Awareness:
Basic “How to” techniques and information that
are essential to teens (how to say “no” and establish
proper boundaries)
• Preventive Techniques: Basic Defensive
Arts (based on martial arts) techniques designed to get kids
out of holds and grabs quickly and easily
• Date Rape “must knows”
• Internet Safety – contract
with parents for internet safety
From
the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children:
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
does not ascribe to the "stranger-danger" message.
We have learned that children do not have the same understanding
of who a stranger is as an adult might; therefore, it is a
difficult concept for the child to grasp. It is much more
beneficial to children to help them build the confidence and
self-esteem they need to stay as safe as possible in any potentially
dangerous situation they encounter rather than teaching them
to be "on the look out" for a particular type of
person. The "stranger-danger" message is not effective
and, based on what we know about those who harm children,
danger to children is greater from someone they or their family
knows than from a "stranger".
*According to NISMART-2 research, which studied the year
1999, an estimated 797,500 children were reported missing;
58,200 children were abducted by non-family members; 115 children
were the victims of the most serious, long-term non-family
abductions called "stereotypical kidnappings"; and 203,900
children were the victims of family abductions.
