Think S*A*F*E*
Patricia Todd, instructor
Teach your child to Think S*A*F*E* — Smart thinking, Act brave, Fly to safety, Eliminate danger. A proactive, “can do”, non-threatening presentation instructs children to be “street smart” in handling dangerous situations. We explain effective strategies, unique insights and useful tools for both parents and children. Predators, internet safety (addressing “My Space,” etc.), drugs, and peer pressure are covered. Resource materials are provided for all subjects. Week 1 is for adults/parents ONLY; week 2 is a training session for the entire family where kids ages 4+ will learn how to take charge in multiple dangerous situations. Note: Best if both sessions are attended, but not necessary. "Sponsored by the Chester County Sheriff Carolyn B. Welsh"
