Things change, and as the world becomes more challenging, we need to
take the time to prepare our children. Not in a threatening or scary
way, but in a way that is fun, engaging, and will give them the best
possible chance of ensuring their own wellbeing.
Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your KIDS is a book about presenting
the concepts of situational awareness to children (ages 5 - 12) in a way
that will keep them engaged and help them take an active role in their
own personal security.
This book will show you how to use fun, interactive games to build
situational awareness skills such as:
- How children can identify and understand normal environmental
behaviors.
- How children can spot abnormal behaviors within their given
environment.
- How to give children a plan and a means of avoidance or escape should
a dangerous situation present itself.
Whether you're a parent, relative, or work in the childcare industry,
the things you impart upon children will have a lasting impact on the
way they live their lives. Nowhere is this more important than in the
area of personal safety. As caregivers, we have a great responsibility
for the security and wellbeing of our children, and to guide them along
the path to independence.
Your child's future success will depend on their ability to interact
with their surroundings and make sound decisions based on what they see.
That's the foundation of situational awareness.

as a father of three.
