InSights Training Center + Kids = Spy Kids Class!

Well, okay, we’re not actually turning them into spies. But Kids Safety School is a cool, new 3-hour class to teach your kids safety and situational awareness. There are no guns or weapons involved, just confidence building and empowerment taught in a warm and caring environment. Through a series of games, drills, and discussions, your children will learn how to recognize potential dangers and get to safety.

Here are some skills we will cover:

• Noticing patterns and what affects patterns: part of safety awareness is spotting things that don’t fit
• Memorization: remember details, remember a safety plan, and more
• Agility: channel that boundless energy into physical skills
• Assertiveness: how to take charge of themselves when it’s time to act

And here are some drills we will cover:

• Personal Space: learn to maintain it and what to do if someone tries to take you
• How to move efficiently through crowded areas
• Designing emergency response plans with their parents: fire, natural disasters, intruder situations
• Parking Lot Safety: getting from car to building and back again
• Run/Hide/Fight: explain when and where to run, best tactics for hiding, and worst case scenario–having to fight

Learn to be safe, and have fun at the same time — this class is a must for every parent and their child. Parental participation is a must, and we guarantee the grownups will learn just as much as the kids! This 3-hour class is aimed at children aged 5 to 10. Price is $75 for parent and 1 child, $20 for each additional child (bring payment for additional children to class).
