Kids gain lots of independence in late
elementary school or early middle school (esp. when the pandemic is
over). Will your child be heading to school on their own? Walking
alone or with other kids? Beginning to take public transit? Staying
home alone for longer stretches? Using a computer with less
supervision?
In this online workshop geared to 9- to 12-year-olds, Defend Yourself will share skills to help them be logistically, mentally, and emotionally ready for these and other situations, as well as strategies for if something doesn’t go as planned.
