Personal Self-Defense for Children (grades 4, 5 & 6) at Salmon Bay, Fall 2019

Children just before their tween years are beginning to seek some independence. They may be staying home alone (or with younger siblings) for longer periods of time, babysit, walking to a friend’s house or to school, or riding the bus with buddies. They are dipping their toes in the water, at times without direct adult supervision. They are likely more afraid of “stranger danger” than acquaintance assault, although the latter is far, far more prevalent. They could use some skills to help make up for the experience they don’t yet have. In this class, they will learn to recognize “red flags” that someone may mean harm, plan safe exits from iffy situation, practice physical moves (just in case), and learn to find supportive self-care. All in age-appropriate language and concepts.

This is a parent and child class, children must be accompanied by an adult. Cost is $45 per child, adults are free.
