Our positive belief in ourselves as being powerful, competent, valuable people is the most important self-protection tool we have. Kidpower provides skills to help protect people from experiences that harm these positive beliefs and increase experiences that help to grow these beliefs.  Our learning goals are that children and their adults will learn 'People Safety' Skills in ways that are fun, useful, and age-appropriate - and will practice using skills to deal with common problems with other kids and adults in ways that are both respectful and powerful - and will start using these skills in daily life.

Through Kidpower, we have been developing and teaching interpersonal safety skills classes in person to people of all ages - including very young children and their adults - for over 30 years. MANY educators in day care centers and preschools; mental health counselors; and parents of young children use our program and our educational resources. Personally, in addition to leading the development of our Kidpower programs, I am the author of, "1,2,3... The Toddler Years", which has a forward by early childhood development pioneer Magda Gerber and is used as a textbook in many ECE classes.
