seminar of the same name. The seminar is presented at the karate school for children ages 5-12. Children are taught to be aware of their environment and what to do if approached by a stranger. They have the opportunity to role-play realistic settings, and learn effective strategies to prevent a possible abduction.
As the seminar developed, Gerri saw the need to share the safety concepts presented in the seminar to all children.
The book is easy to read and is designed to be shared with parents and their children. As in the seminar, the book presents the concepts in a non-threatening tone. Children learn practical and common sense techniques to acquire the skills to be safe. Twenty-five Kid Tips, practical for all ages, are presented throughout the book.
For example - Kid Tip #5: Grown-ups don't ask kids for help.
Kid Tip #25: Never arrange a face to face meeting with someone from the Internet.
Chapter 4 was written with contributions from David Freyman, SPECIAL AGENT FBI, whose expertise is in the area of cybercrimes.
Chapter 5 is an excellent resource of web sites and books to further the reader's knowledge.
Gerri is available to give presentaions to groups of any age about the book and about personal safety. She can be reached through this web site.
The book is available on the Franklin Mason Press link. It retails for $5.95
