Ages Pre-K and ages 5-12 Personal Empowerment & Safety Curriculum



Curriculum



radKIDS are COOL KIDS empowered in their own safety. This educational program incorporates many styles of presentation and is soundly based in accelerated learning theory. radKIDS is not taught from a grown up perspective of Do's and Don'ts instead it is shared through "the eyes of a child". This allows and encourages each child to develop their own plans and skills. The program is presented, whenever possible, with parental participation, so a true partnership can be established between the child and their trusted adult. All parents receive a Family Manual so they can actively participate in their children's safety.



DrILLS ON THE FLY



The program includes information and activities based on building confidence and self-esteem in the children so they truly gain the knowledge and confidence to make positive choices in their own safety. The photo shows children practicing their Dog Safety skills.



Demonstration, Explanation and DYNAMIC IMPACT



radKIDS are taught "Rule of Context" when developing their "physical resistance to violence skills." We do not want our radKIDS to use physical resistance when it is not warranted or be afraid to physically resist when necessary. There are critical phases used for hands-on training, they include: Demonstration, Explanation, Repetition and Dynamic Impact. Dynamic Impact training involves both low and high levels of impact.



DYNAMIC SIMULATION



Dynamic Simulation for radKIDS ages 5 -12, it involves the interaction of participants with Instructors, using proper equipment, proper supervision and proper energy management techniques. ALL radKIDS KNOW...PHYSICAL RESISTANCE MEANS STOPPING SOMEONE FROM HURTING US. radKIDS are taught that if they cannot escape, that they may use their physical resistance skills to escape and then run to a SAFE ZONE to tell a trusted adult.



safety Curriculum



Home Fire Safety is just one of the many subjects discussed during the radKIDS Program. Also included are: Internet Safety, Dog Safety, Bicycle Safety, Water Safety, Gun Safety, Home Safety, Outdoors Safety, Store Safety, Drug Safety and Vehicle Safety.



Physical Resistance Skills



radKIDS are taught a series of age appropriate physical resistance skills. Skills are developed through 5 stages of training: Explanation, Demonstration, Repetition, Dynamic Impact, Dynamic Simulation.



sexual assault prevention education



One of the greatest risks our children face today is still sexual assault, molestation or abuse. Statistics show:


1 of every 3 incidences of sexual abuse reported to law enforcement are children under 12 years of age. 1 of every 7 are under age 6.


Perpetrators: 59% are from within the family; 37% acquaintances of victim; 4% a stranger.


Overall girls are 6 times more likely than boys to be victims of sexual assault; 73% of victims under 12 were girls, 27% were boys.


So Why radKids?


"radKIDS know more!" radKIDS know that education and knowledge are the keys to power and prevention.


In the radKIDS program our focus is on enhancing a child's safety and person boundaries with an understanding of "Personal Space and Personal Touch." In radKIDS we empower children to identify and protect all their personal boundaries.


We also include an educational book and tool from our curriculum, (Sam's Secret). Sam's Secret is being use in Children's Advocacy as well as by therapists and counselors, both in prevention and as a therapeutic resource.


radKIDS know, "No one has the right to hurt them" and "if anyone ever does it is not their fault so they can tell and keep telling until someone helps."
