Increasing resistance – Decreasing vulnerability
Parents:
Imagine teaching your child to use their natural resistance/refusal skills which they practice at home with you all of the time, to help them keep themselves safe.
Imagine your child serving God more and being less “under the influence” of those youth culture aspects that are negative.
As our children and youth head back to school, let’s put some “refusal skills” in their backpack along with their paper, pens and highlighters.
The links below will give you information on helping your child increase their resistance skills and decrease their vulnerability to things that can hurt them.
We suggest you read the information and determine which material would best fit for your child’s age and personality. Then, sit down with your child and share the information with them. Have a good discussion about it. Touch base about the information throughout the year, asking your child how they have been able to “practice” their refusal skills.
We, here at CMN, wish you and your family a Happy and Safe Back to School Season and throughout the year!
