FREE Community ANTI-BULLY Workshop!

ATTENTION PARENTS: BULLIES DON'T JUST BEAT YOU UP! THEY TAKE AWAY YOUR DIGNITY!

HERE'S THE FACTS:
• In a recent study, 77% of students said they had been bullied mentally, verbally, and physically.
• 32% of parents fear for their child’s physical safety at school!
• 282,000 students in America are physically attacked each month!
• The effects of Bullying often have devastating effects on a child’s life!
• Now we can stop Bullies and we can do it FAST!

Dear Friend,

You probably have a nice kid. He’s sweet, and follows the rules, and wouldn’t harm a fly. 

And it hurts, doesn’t it, when you see him being picked on by bigger, tougher kids? The sad truth is…nice kids almost always get picked on.

Often, in the “world of kids,” niceness is seen as weakness.

You see, the bullies and bad guys aren’t looking for a tough fight. They are looking for someone who they can easily terrorize. Easily dominate. Easily humiliate.

And these days, if you are a nice kid, it’s like wearing a sign that says, “Come pick on me!”

So -- what are you supposed to do? You cringe at the thought of “toughening him up.” You certainly don’t want him to lose his niceness and sweet disposition. And -- absolutely -- you don’t want him to solve this problem by becoming like the bullies and bad guys.

Now, read carefully. I’m going to tell you a secret. 

If you understand what I’m about to tell you, you will have the “key” to resolving this entire, frustrating situation. 

The Secret: Some kids don’t get picked on at all.

That’s right. Some kids don’t get picked on – at all. They don’t pick on other kids, either. They are free to enjoy themselves, to be themselves…and it wouldn’t even occur to a bully to give them a hard time.

What I can do for you.

It’s pretty simple, really. I’m going to take your kid out of the group of kids that get picked on – and put him or her in the group of kids that doesn’t get picked on. 

And, I’m going to do it without turning your nice, sweet kid into one of those “tough guys.”

So how does it work?

I will teach your child FAST Defense, which is an Award Winning assertiveness and self protection skills to effectively protect your child from Bullies.
