The 5 Safety Rules are taught to children and teens in all MBF Prevention Education Programs. The Safety Rules help them identify and respond appropriately to bullying, cyberbullying, the four types of child abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect), digital dangers, relationship abuse, human trafficking, and other types of victimization.
Parents and adults can learn more and reinforce the Safety Rules by asking children/teens to explain each rule and by practicing the motions that go with the rules for elementary students. Additionally, parents and adults can use the Safety Rules themselves to better protect children.
The MBF Child Safety Matters program is impressive. This important information is well formulated and well presented, developmentally appropriate, and based on good understanding of literature.
I heard about the program through my son. He came home…and showed me the safety rules. I cannot thank the Foundation enough; to have other people who are also concerned about my child’s safety and the safety of other kids is wonderful. I especially like the program’s focus on the prevention side.
The MBF Teen Safety Matters curriculum hosts an in-depth approach to important social and safety concerns relevant to youth. The program content is age-appropriate with engaging activities, jargon, and realistic situations to positively promote a relatable and impacting learning experience…Teen Safety Matters is an educational benefit to all parties involved – students, parents, facilitators, and schools.
