CHILD PREDATOR SAFETY WORKSHOP TO QUELL PARENTS' FEARS
 |
Ms. Fitzgerald will discuss how to talk to kids about personal boundaries, strategies that help kids to identify and avoid "tricky" people and situations, how to recognize "red flags" and warning signs, and why teaching kids “the stranger-danger concept" is not an effective way to protect them from predators.
Fitzgerald is a mother and a certified child safety educator who began teaching predator awareness programs in 2001, after learning a Level 3 registered sex offender had been released into her community. She advocates a positive, non-fearful approach to prevention education.
Fitzgerald says, "Naturally, it can be very upsetting to learn that a registered offender is living right in your own community. But when armed with the right information, we can significantly reduce the chances of something bad happening to our kids."
Who and What: "An Ounce of Prevention" – free child predator safety workshop for parents taught by certified child predator safety educator Pattie Fitzgerald.
