Starting Strong Workshop

Program Overview

Starting Strong Workshops are an introduction to People Safety Skills for young children ages 4-6. Storytelling, puppets and interactive role-plays teach children simple but powerful skills to: act aware and confident, set boundaries, stop unwanted touch, handle unkind words, be safe with strangers, and get help from adults effectively, even when they are busy. This two-hour training introduces everyday safety skills (NOT physical self-defense skills) and guides adults in practicing these skills together with their children. At least one parent or guardian is required to attend with their child/children. This workshop helps answer the question, “How can we teach our children to be safe without scaring them?” in a fun, experiential way. Fee includes a t-shirt for the child, take home coloring book and participation by parents and guardians.
