Book excerpt: As adults, we like to think we have a good idea of what the world may have in store for our teenagers, but the fact of the matter is there's a vast divide between what we perceive as dangerous and what our teens are actually up against. Teenagers face unique challenges when it comes to situational awareness. These challenges are only exacerbated by the constant physical and biological changes teens are subjected to. As young people learn to deal with these changes, they begin to explore the limits of their individuality. Unfortunately, this process often involves rebellious behavior and unnecessary risk-taking. The key to keeping teens safe during this time is to keep them alert and engaged with their environment. Teenagers have to understand that real personal safety isn't about being scared of what lies around the next corner. It requires confidence that if something bad were about to happen, that they have these skills: Ability to identify the problem early Competence to develop a plan of action Power to control their fear Aptitude to implement that plan Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your Teens is designed around the principles of positive communication, trust, and teamwork. It's written specifically to set parents' minds at ease and allow teens to confidently explore their independence, secure in the fact that they can spot dangerous situations before they happen and take the necessary steps to ensure their own well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, the risk to the personal safety for us and our children increases. Unfortunately, most of the current books dealing with the issue adopt a acookbooka approach of techniques to deal with the problem. Recognizing that it is impossible to present all of the threats we may face, Dr. Brundellas book is designed to train the reader to detect a possible threat, BEFORE IT HAPPENS, so that we can avoid it. Written in a clear and concise manner, the book lays the groundwork for developing situational awareness so that the reader will begin to think safe, thereby staying safe. The book also includes material on how to train our children in the art of enhanced, situational awareness. Prior to becoming a chiropractic physician, Dr. Brundell worked in the security industry for many years. Retiring from active practice to pursue a career in writing, he returned to the security field as well, only to find that most people are less aware of the threats that surround them than they were two decades ago. After his youngest daughter survived a vicious dog attack and thanked him for training her how to deal with threats Dr. Brundell stopped his work on his next health book to write Think SafeaStay Safe.
Download or read book Protecting the Gift written by Gavin De Becker and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I commit that by the end of this book, you'll know more and be uncertain less; see more and deny less, accept more and hesitate less; act more and worry less. How can I be so sure? Because if nature selected you for the job of protecting a child, odds are you're up to it."--Gavin de Becker In his groundbreaking bestseller The Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker showed millions of readers that like every creature on earth, human beings can predict violent behavior. Now, in Protecting the Gift, de Becker empowers parents to trust fully their own intuition when it comes to their children's safety. In this indispensable resource, de Becker provides keen insights into the behavior and strategies of predators. He offers practical new steps to enhance children's safety at every age level: specific questions parents can ask to screen effectively and evaluate baby-sitters, day-care services, schools, and doctors; a "Test of Twelve" safety skills children need before being alone in public; warning signs to help parents protect children from sexual abuse; and how to keep teenage girls and boys from unsafe situations with peers and adults. De Becker also shatters the myth that rules like Never Talk to Strangers will keep your children safe. By showing what danger really looks like--as opposed to what we might imagine it looks like--de Becker gives parents freedom from many common worries and unwarranted fears. All parents face the same challenges when it comes to their children's safety: whom to trust, whom to distrust, what to believe, what to doubt, what to fear, and what not to fear. De Becker helps parents find some certainty about life's highest-stakes questions: How can I know ababy-sitter won't turn out to be someone who harms my child? What should I ask child-care professionals when I interview them? What's the best way to prepare my child for walking to school alone? How can my child be safer at school? How can I spot sexual predators? What should I do if my child is lost in public? How can I teach my child about risk without causing too much fear? What must my teenage daughter know in order to be safe? What must my teenage son know in order to be safe? And finally, in the face of all these questions, how can I reduce the worrying? A generation ago, in Baby and Child Care, Dr. Benjamin Spock told parents that they already possessed most of the important knowledge about their children's health. Similarly, when it comes to predicting violence and protecting children, de Becker demonstrates that you already know most of what you need to know-- parents have, he says, "the wisdom of the species."

Book excerpt: Teaching Your Teenager To Drive Carefully And Safely - Expert Tips And Advice For Parents And Teenage Boys And Girls For most teenagers, knowing how to drive is the first significant step towards freedom, adulthood, and independence. But make no mistake because the very first year or two of driving are also among the most dangerous times of your teenager's life. So, how can you as a parent prepare your teenage boy or girl to be safe, good drivers and keep them that way? The good news is - there are detailed, proven steps parents can take to get the best results they want. Motor vehicle accidents are the top cause of death for U.S. teens, and car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens between the ages of 16-19-year-olds. In 2017, six teens died every day, and hundreds more suffered injuries in car crashes. This is against drivers 20 years and above, the risk of being involved in a fatal accident is three times as great for teens who are 16-19, and new drivers have a crash rate 1.5 times higher than drivers who are 18 and 19 years old. It's gut-wrenching, shocking that the problem is still this big; 16 and 17-year-olds are far over-represented in fatal car crashes, more so than any other age group. However, crash data reveals that one of the three main reasons for teen car crashes include speeding, drinking and driving, and distraction. I know that the statistics are sobering; however, parents hold the keys to helping their teenagers beat these odds and teaching them how best to drive to avert many impending dooms. It requires sticking to what this book represents to keep teenagers safe before, during, and after learning to drive. So, if you are interested in teaching your kids to be a good driver to help sharpen their driving knowledge skills and mitigate the number of car accidents on our roads, then get a COPY of this BOOK today.
Download or read book Protecting Your Child from Predators written by Beth EdD Robinson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even good parents often underestimate the dangers their children face. Research indicates that one in four females and one in six males are sexually abused before age 18. In most cases, the enemy is not a faceless stranger; it's someone you know and trust--a neighbor, a coach, or even a family member. This book provides practical steps to ensure you're doing all you can to reduce the risks of abuse. But since you cannot be with your children 24/7, it goes beyond what you can do as a parent to teach you how to increase your child's own awareness and strategies in the face of potential dangers--without making them fearful. Dr. Robinson, whose decades-long practice focuses on abused and endangered children, calls on her own case studies to show age- appropriate conversation starters for parents, teaching them how to ask the right questions and provide the right boundaries. This book will help you move from fear to confidence on this heavy topic that is just too important to ignore.

Download or read book Traditional Taekwondo written by Doug Cook and published by . This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the original purpose and training of taekwondo The principles and techniques illustrated in this book, having been handed down over the decades, if not centuries, emphasize a core philosophy rich in defensive strategy. Taekwondo, literally translated, can be defined as "foot, hand way" or "the way of smashing with hands and feet." Such descriptive nomenclature understandably implies a curriculum rich in self-defense. Too often, however, this is simply not the case. Given the current popularity of sport competition in the martial arts, many techniques of defensive value have been stripped away or forfeited altogether in favor of those certain to score in the ring. While the thirst for Olympic gold has clearly played a significant role in propelling taekwondo into the forefront, it should be remembered that this native Korean martial art contains over 3200 distinct self defense techniques. This book describes in detail, the history and evolution of Taekwondo from its ancient roots to modern day applications. Also included are exercises in "Ki" or internal energy development, meditation practice, and practical self-defense strategies. This work focuses on the traditional aspects of Taekwondo rather than on its sportive component.
