SAFETY SKILLS

A.P.E’s Basic Class/Child Escape (Ages 5-12)

This is a good introductory and refresher course for kids. It will cover a broad range of topics including: defining a “Stranger”, “Lures”, Role Playing, distancing, what to yell, “Going Bananas”, “Code Words”, and communication. Child Escape: The first and most important counter move if attacked or threatened is to “run like the wind” (and bring attention to the situation). If running away is not immediately an option, you may need to know how to get out of a situation “physically.” This class goes over ways to specifically get out of danger if a child is grabbed, picked up, put in a car, etc. Because of the physical nature of this class, it is only given to both kids and parents together.
