Non-Threatening way To Empower Your Girl to Never Have A Sad Story To Tell.
A Safe Girl Possesses Assertive Confidence because she knows what to do.
As parents of two girls, we wanted them to experience freedom, innocence, and fun that life has to offer without overloading them with anxiety, fear, and the overwhelm most parents unwittingly pass on to their daughters. When our community experienced the loss of a young girl, as well as the seemingly non-stop news reports of girls falling prey to bad men, we wanted our girls to take ownership of their safety. We wanted them to know what to do when we couldn’t be with them and we did it by creating fun training experiences throughout their lives. The activities and skills we taught our children have been incorporated into Safe Girl.
Who We Are. We are Glen and Annmarie Evans, creators of Safe Girl. Glen was a police officer/firefighter/EMT for 31 years. Annmarie was an elementary school teacher for 20 years. Together, we’ve had the privilege to meet thousands of children and their moms and dads and train them in personal safety techniques that remove them from a criminal’s attack equation. Assertive Confidence is taught through providing entertainment, teaching physical skills, and allowing our students to try them out. Our teaching philosophy is “a student learns best when she is having fun.” Glen is the author of Protect Your Kids, a complete personal safety curriculum designed to help parents teach their kids with skills and drills.
What We Teach.
SEE
A girl can’t tell if a man is good or bad just by looking at him, but she can SEE how he behaves and quickly create distance. Bad men have a plan, and once a girl knows what they do (behavior based), she can respond based upon her training.
Avoid
Using her new awareness skills, she has increased her safety by 90%. Now she needs to be given permission to do (avoidance techniques) and say (assertiveness techniques) to reframe the situation to her advantage. It’s about being proactive.
FREE
Sometimes a girl is surprised and finds herself in a bad situation. She has seconds to cause surprise and work to exploit his greatest fear. She can FREE herself by combining voice, technique, and painful distraction if necessary to become safe.
escape
A girl is most safe when she is aware of her surroundings, recognizes bad behavior and avoids the bad situation completely. She will be equipped to get help from good people and forcing them to help her in an emergency.
