Knowing how to use the power of your body and voice can help to reduce conflict and to protect yourself from an assault. Instead of using fear to teach kids about violence prevention, Kidpower makes it FUN to learn to stay safe. Lessons in Book 1 include:
  • Acting Aware, Calm, and Respectfully Confident
  • Moving Away From Trouble
  • Being Powerful with Your Voice and Body
  • Different Ways of Using Your Personal Power
Each book in the series presents a set of social-emotional skills that can prevent most bullying, abuse, kidnapping, and other violence in ways that are age-appropriate, upbeat, emotionally safe, inclusive of kids with disabilities – and not scary.
