WHAT SHOULD YOUR CHILD DO IF SOMEONE GETS IN THEIR FACE?
Your child would most likely do one of three choices available to him or her:
1. Fight back.
2. Retreat.
3. Stand there and do nothing.
When someone gets "IN THEIR FACE" and your child can't make a decision as to what he or she will do, your child will be in trouble.
Teach your child to make a decision AHEAD OF TIME what they would "actually" do if someone got IN THEIR FACE. It is always better to be prepared for a particular situation than to be caught unprepared. We call this being PROACTIVE.
Teaching your child to have an idea ahead of time might allow them to quickly assess the situation BEFORE it gets out of hand.
Your chiild should ALWAYS be alerted to their surroundings and their situation, taking advantage of any opportunity that might present itself. |
