Kids Personal Safety course - A NEW web site

May 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Kids Personal Safety course - A Success Story

A new initiative in personal safety and communication skills for children is proving to be a great success and is now ready for National deployment through schools, sports and community groups.

After months of wading through the bureaucracy and red tape that surrounds education in this country, the Life Skills for Children team finally made a break through and several hundred children are benefitting from it.

Life Skills for Children consists of four one hour sessions, and is designed to develop such skills as: - vision, confidence, motivation, communication, action, creativity, strategy, courage and trust.

“This is a non-physical approach to personal safety, involving awareness skills and protective behaviours,” said Gary Payne, the programme’s founder. “An increasing number of children are being bullied at some point in their life, and Life Skills for Children teaches them the skills they need to counteract this. It also allows children to grasp an understanding of social responsibility and how to positively interact with others. It has improved communication amongst students, their teachers and their parents.”
The programme also tackles knife awareness and is proving popular with children and their parents.

The Life Skills team now boasts several young instructors who have all come from difficult backgrounds and have used Life Skills as a means to turn their life around and become positive influences within their communities.
