Check First & Think First: How to stay safe with strangers and people you know

Instead of using fear to teach about violence prevention, Kidpower makes it FUN to learn to stay safe - both with strangers and with people they know. Without putting scary messages into children's minds, we can prepare them to avoid most assault, kidnapping, and abuse.

In this Teaching Book, you will find cartoon-illustrated lessons from Kidpower's exceptional People Safety curriculum with explanations, stories, skill practice coaching guides, and Kidpower Safety Signals about:

• Noticing When You are Together or On Your Own
• Stranger Safety Rules
• Thinking First To Assess What Is and Is Not Safe
• Checking First Before You Go Even With People You Know

The cartoon-illustrated social stories and coaching guides in our Kidpower Teaching Book series make it easy for caring adults to use our "People Safety" curriculum with children and youth in their classrooms,youth programs, and families. These strategies and skills help to keep young people safe from most bullying, abuse, kidnapping, and other violence - as well as to prepare them to develop strong relationships that enrich their lives.
