Touch for affection should always be a choice (with thanks to KidPower). #everydaysafety #KidsSafety #chicago

The strongest deterrent for bullying behavior is confidence. The trick is you don't have to FEEL confident to LOOK confident. Help your child practice standing up strong and setting boundaries with a strong loud voice ("Leave me alone!" "Go away!") #KidsSafety #chicago

[Culture of Safety, LLC @CoS_Chicago]

Talk with the kids in your life about boundaries. When they learn to practice setting boundaries early with the people in their life ("I don't want a hug right now" or "Don't touch my stuff without asking"), they learn to advocate for themselves. #KidsSafety #chicago

[Culture of Safety, LLC @CoS_Chicago]

The single most effective intervention against childhood bulling is: peer intervention. Talk to the kids in your life today. Help them practice standing up for others. #KidsSafety #everydaysafety #chicago

How do we teach children about consent? Help support them processing their emotions when a friend says no to them. When a friend says they don't want a hug, how does your child respond? #KidsSafety #everydaysafety #chicago

[Culture of Safety, LLC @CoS_Chicago]

How do we teach children about consent? Start by empowering them to say either yes or no to hugs (touch for affection) from friends and family. #KidsSafety #everydaysafety #chicago

You don't have to feel confident--you just have to look confident. And looking confident will make you less likely to be targeted. #everydaysafety #chicago

Any task can be done mindfully: whether washing dishes, walking the dog, typing on the computer. Choose one task today and practice it with mindfulness. Notice how your body feels as you do the task. Notice each footstep or each strike on the keyboard. #MindfulMondays #chicago

Exhaling for longer than you inhale is a quick way to soothe our nervous system. When you have a few minutes try this technique: Inhale for 4 counts, Exhale for 5 counts. With each breath, gently lengthen the exhale by one count. Build up to 8 counts.  #selfcaresunday #chicago
