The truth is that parents can’t protect their kids from everything, even though they wish they could. Life throws curveballs, which sometimes appear at the most unexpected times. So, when it comes to keeping kids safe from threats — from kidnappers and robbers to natural disasters such as hurricanes or tornados — there’s another important concept to consider, and that’s empowerment. By starting to teach kids how to be self-sufficient while they’re young, you’re not only preparing them to handle disasters and adversity, you’re also teaching them useful life skills.
Which skills are the most important to teach? And how do you know where to begin? The good news is that building empowerment in kids doesn’t have to be difficult. Lessons and self-confidence can be incorporated naturally into daily tasks. By taking some simple steps, you can help kids learn to protect themselves and prepare for the bumpy road of life.
We talked with two experts — Robert Richardson, founder of the website Off-Grid Survival and author of The Ultimate Situational Survival Guide: Self-Reliance Strategies for a Dangerous World, and Jenifer Joy Madden, author of The Durable Human Manifesto. As parents, they offered tips from both a dad’s and mom’s perspective on how to nurture empowerment in kids.
