Teaching Our Children to Resist Aggression Defensively

"Please don't tell me to stay safe -- Teach me, or how will I know?"

Studies show that proactive responses (such as those techniques taught by radKIDS^®) are most effective for avoiding would-be abductors.

A National Leader
radKIDS^® is the national leader in children's safety education and provides the only holistic, practical and realistic life skills safety program available for children and parents today. radKIDS^® teaches children individually in an activity based hands-on training classroom, which means every child participates in all activities.

Building On Instinct
Other safety programs give children general guidance rules, show videos or simply "talk" to the children. radKIDS^® is dedicated to providing our children with a hands-on, activity-based physical skill development program empowering our children with options, not fear. radKIDS^® provides our children with the instinctual options they need to recognize, avoid and if necessary respond to potential danger in their world today. radKIDS^® has always believed, and it is further proved by the NCMEC study, that the first few seconds of a potentially violent encounter are critical. When a child is approached or grabbed, the response needs to be immediate, instinctual and absolute.

This instinctual response can be "taught" and enhanced through individual demonstration, training and practice. radKIDS^® is dedicated to providing communities and families the tools they need to teach and empower your children with realistic options in their own personal safety.

Giving Children a Choice
Through radKIDS^® training, children become empowered, learning to replace the fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills and self-esteem. Through this hands-on educational program the lives of children are being saved. radKIDS^®, as an organization, is dedicated to empowering parents, educators, police officers, and other child safety advocates in their communities with the "gift" of the radKIDS^® program by training those interested in becoming Instructors in their own communities.
