We understand the effects that bullying can have on a child’s life. All the motivation that a child has to succeed in school, sports, or any endeavor in life, comes from a child’s confidence and self-esteem. A bully robs a child of those very important traits and leaves a negative impact on the rest of their life. Thus, our program is designed to give children the confidence, self-esteem, and knowledge needed to defend themselves against these bullies. We will cover techniques that will improve body posture and voice tone so that your child is less likely to ever be bullied and to help stand up for others too. 1375 Shotgun Rd, 33326.
