| About FAST C.A.T.S.: |
| Everyday our kids are in HOT ZONES where inappropriate and sometimes violent behaviors occur. This course teaches children how to deal with the various difficult situations that kids have to deal with. |
|
| In a fun and lively environment, the FAST C.A.T.S. (Children's Assertiveness Training Series) program addresses the following: |
| | Dealing With Bullies
|
| | Playground altercations |
| | How to handle name calling and teasing |
| | Protecting personal "space" and possessions |
| | Setting boundaries against inappropriate touch or attention |
| | Assessing appropriate defense and how NOT to start a fight |
| |
|
| | Stranger Danger
|
| | Getting lost (safety checklist/knowing name, address, phone number, etc.) |
| | Home safety skills |
| | Abduction awareness – basic skills to detect and avoid abduction |
| | How to physically break away and escape the grasp of a would be abductor |
|
| Children gain confidence with the new assertive choices they learn to apply in a wide variety of situations. FAST C.A.T.S. students are much less likely to react out of anger or fear, or have to use physical resistance after asserting proper awareness skills and appropriate de-escalation behavior. This course is invaluable to help kids deal with bullies that are taking advantage of the zero tolerance rules at school! |
