This spring give your child a fighting chance
Bullying can have such a pervasive effect on the lives of our children. From declining grades, to low self-worth, to long-term damage such as depression, and anxiety well into adulthood. In some regards it is worse today than ever before due to the onset of social media; making it ever harder to hide from the abuser(s).
While I applaud the school systems for trying to stop bullying, unfortunately it is a natural part of human existence. No matter how many 10 or 12 year old's we lock up in jail, there are too many circumstances in life that create bullies. I should know, I had plenty of experience as a victim of them in my own life. So what is the answer? Easy, give your child the confidence they need and they will no longer be a target.
Confidence Course
This 6 week course is designed to give your child confidence, teach them to establish verbal boundaries, and give them physical self-defense techniques to use, just in case they ever need them. We also have a parent session where we will discuss the psychology of the bully, posturing, human behaviors, and what you can do long term to help your child when they are struggling with a bully.
Defend Against the 12 Common Attacks
Those of you that grew up where schools and kids were more physical, probably remember some of the common problems you faced - being punched, headlocks, pinned on the ground; the list goes on. I will teach your child to defend against each of the attacks they are most likely to face from other kids; giving them the confidence to deal with physical violence they might face, or may already be facing. Learning self-defense skills can be TRUE EMPOWERMENT!
