About this webinar
This session is part of the Follett Early Learning Series
Talking to young children about their personal safety is SO important, but where do we even start? Teaching them to ask for a police officer if they’re lost is unrealistic, Stranger Danger is outdated, and there are so many situations we can’t even predict (or want to imagine). How do we prepare our kids to make safe choices without scaring them?
This webinar, presented by Abbie Schiller, will provide you with a modern, engaging approach to teaching kids personal safety – at home or in the classroom.
This webinar teaches kid-appropriate, modern safety strategies including:
Being the Boss of your Body. Checking first with a safe adult before going anywhere or doing anything unexpected.
Listening to your “uh-oh” feeling
What to do if you get lost.
Knowing your safe adult’s name and phone number
Among other safety tips for children.
Empower kids to be safe, not scared, by joining Abbie for the powerful and important Webinar!
