This program teaches children (and adults) to walk away with confidence by using their mind, their most powerful weapon!
Question - What about stranger-danger instruction?
1. Answer – We are a licenced provider of the nationally recognized program "Journey of the Steal-Proof Master" . This program uses mystical stories of 10 evil warriors , which represent the 10 lures predators use to abduct or harm children. Children learn to recognize predators by what they say and do , rather than what they are wearing or how they look. They are also taught the ONE BIG RULE - NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITH ANYONE WITHOUT YOUR PARENTS PERMISSION!
