Survival Skills
We teach our children to ride bikes, do the front crawl and print the alphabet. We show them good manners, how to bake cookies and clean up their toys. Our busy kids take music lessons, dance lessons and gymnastics.
But when it comes to teaching valuable lessons like how to develop positive self-esteem or how to make friends or even how to handle anger responsibly, many of us are at a loss. How do we teach those skills (particularly if they have never been taught to us)?
Consider adding Child Safe Canada’s list of self-development courses to your child’s roster. While you may be familiar with Child Safe Canada’s Red Cross Babysitter Program or Home Alone Safety courses, they also offer a full range of course offerings designed to help children aged 4–8 develop self confidence and self-esteem while refining social interaction.
Founder and mom entrepreneur Tracey Warren launched Child Safe Canada after her daughter suffered a serious head injury accident. Warren says that many people designated to help her daughter throughout her lengthy recovery did not have adequate training. Warren vowed to help more people become properly trained in First-aid. Child Safe Canada’s First-aid and Home Alone courses are now highly regarded in Calgary Board of Education Schools.
