Offers a fun and stimulating environment where parents and

Building On Instinct
Other safety programs give children general guidance rules, show videos
or simply "talk" to the children. Christopher's Clubhouse uses the
radKIDS®
curriculum and is dedicated to providing our children with a hands-on,
activity-based physical skill development program empowering our
children with options, not fear. radKIDS®
and Christopher's Clubhouse provides our children with the instinctual
options they need to recognize, avoid and if necessary respond to
potential danger in their world today. radKIDS®
has always believed, and it is further proved by the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children study, that the first few seconds of a
potentially violent encounter are critical. When a child is approached
or grabbed, the response needs to be immediate, instinctual and
absolute.
This instinctual response can be "taught" and enhanced through
individual demonstration, training and practice. Christopher's Clubhouse
is dedicated to providing the community and families the tools
they need to teach and empower your children with realistic options in
their own personal safety.
Children are targeted as victims because they are more
vulnerable than adults. They are more trusting and far easier to lure into
dangerous situations.
It only takes seconds for a child without training to be lured
into a dangerous situation. As much as you would like to, you can’t be with your
child every minute of the day to protect them.
So how can you teach your children the skills they need to
protect themselves without scaring them?
Christopher's Clubhouse uses the radKIDS curriculum
that actually trains children, in a multi-sensory, fun and interactive
environment, to respond to dangerous scenarios. Children are taught safety
education; everything from Home Safety to Defense Against Abduction by doing
simulated activities. Once they’ve actually done it, and practiced it, the
necessary skills will come naturally and instinctively in a dangerous situation.
Through radKIDS training, children become empowered learning to replace the
fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal
safety skills and self- esteem.
