Things change, and as the world becomes more challenging, we need
to take the time to prepare our children. Not in a threatening or
scary way, but in a way that is fun, engaging, and will give them
the best possible chance of ensuring their own wellbeing. Spotting
Danger Before It Spots Your KIDS is a book about presenting the
concepts of situational awareness to children (ages 5 - 12) in a
way that will keep them engaged and help them take an active role
in their own personal security. This book will show you how to use
fun, interactive games to build situational awareness skills such
as: How children can identify and understand normal environmental
behaviors. How children can spot abnormal behaviors within their
given environment. How to give children a plan and a means of
avoidance or escape should a dangerous situation present itself.
Whether you're a parent, relative, or work in the childcare
industry, the things you impart upon children will have a lasting
impact on the way they live their lives. Nowhere is this more
important than in the area of personal safety. As caregivers, we
have a great responsibility for the security and wellbeing of our
children, and to guide them along the path to independence. Your
child's future success will depend on their ability to interact
with their surroundings and make sound decisions based on what they
see. That's the foundation of situational awareness. Author Gary
Quesenberry has spent nearly two decades working as a federal air
marshal. The training methods outlined in this book are based on
the lessons learned not only as a counter-terror agent but also as
a father of three.

Somewhere in America right now are four or five women who will be
killed tomorrow. They are going about their day, and I know if they
were prepared to counter attack in the ways Loren Christensen and
Lisa Place teach, they'd have a far better chance of prevailing
tomorrow." -Gavin de Becker (from his Foreword), best-selling

submissive when attacked at home or by a stranger. You won't find
that advice here, although you might use it as a ruse before you
claw your assailant's eyes and smash his groin. Your ultimate goal
