Safety Starts Early: Personal Safety
for Children and the Adults who love them

The world can feel big — even scary — when you’re little. That’s why we believe safety skills should start early, in ways that build confidence, not fear.

This workshop teaches kids ages 5–7 how to:

  • Understand what “safe” feels like — and what to do when it doesn’t

  • Set boundaries with peers and adults (including those they know)

  • Ask for help, use their voice, and trust their instincts

  • Practice clear, strong responses in real-life situations

Parents and caregivers participate in every session alongside their child, learning language, strategies, and tools to reinforce safety at home.

🧠 What Makes This Workshop Different?

Many safety classes focus on “stranger danger.” But research shows that kids are more likely to need boundary-setting skills with people they already know.

Our approach blends:

  • Play-based learning and roleplay

  • Verbal and nonverbal tools kids can actually remember

  • Supportive, age-appropriate practice with real instructors

In some classes, children also get the chance to safely practice physical self-defense techniques against a certified instructor in a padded suit. These moments are empowering and unforgettable — giving kids true “muscle memory” to draw on when it counts.
