"Smart Moves" takes a smart approach to children's safety.,
By Jessica Wheeler (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Moves: A Kid's Guide to Self-Defense (Hardcover)
It seems that life in North America gets more violent each day. It was refreshing to read "Smart Moves: a kid's guide to self-defense" by Christopher J. Goedecke and Rosmarie Hausherr because they don't try and sugar-coat reality. We have to be honest with children, and unfortunately, that includes teaching them about violence. "Smart Moves" is a good book for many reasons. First, it emphasizes safety and the purpose of self-defense. Second, there are discussions on feelings and emotions which can be especially confusing for the younger population. Third, the book offers practical techniques, yet emphasizes adult supervision. Finally, the last section of the book is dedicated to the cognitive aspect of self-defense. Many guidelines are given, such as what to do when home alone or when in an unfamiliar place. Numerous scenarios are detailed to encourage group discussion. I would recommend this book to everyone who has contact with children.
