About this title

Synopsis

In this complacent culture where until 9/11 we took our nation s well being for granted, how do we teach our children to react in potentially life threatening situations? What is the protocol for handling advances by strangers, bomb threats, bullying, cyberstalking, discrimination, sexual harassment, hostage taking, even terrorism? How knowledgeable are everyday caregivers about alcohol abuse, addictions, eating disorders, even suicidal behaviors? What can a parent or teacher do to protect our innocent children? This book helps caregivers to prepare children for and respond to emergencies, including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. In addition, the warnings and recommendations in the book allow students to assess their own skills, and will help them to identify, prevent, and respond to safety and health issues in their daily environment.
