<\/p>\nThe Badass Girl’s Guide: Uncommon Strategies to Outwit Predators is the one book criminal predators don’t want you to read! Filled with critical information about how to empower yourself to keep from becoming a crime statistic, this definitive guide contains facts and strategies not found in other personal security books.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This edgy, remarkable book reveals how predators select and groom their victims, and teaches you how to “fail” the predator interview. It also provides clear instructions about how to use your personal bodily “weapons” to defend yourself in a confrontation, offering everything you need to know to stay safe, fight if you must, and navigate the criminal justice system if the worst happens.<\/p>\n
You Have More Power Than You Think!<\/p>\n
Women and girls are generally raised to be nice to everyone. They\u2019re taught to avoid being rude at all cost. To smile through awkward situations. To giggle when they feel uncomfortable rather than risk embarrassing someone who is just \u201cplaying\u201d with them. To expect men to be their rescuers if they\u2019re in danger.<\/p>\n
How many times in your life have you ignored the blaring sirens from your intuition when someone was violating your boundaries? Or worried as the creepy guy from your dorm followed you to class? Or suffered through regular sexual harassment at school or work?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a strange paradox\u2014we spend so much of our lives being hyper-vigilant about potential danger but become utterly helpless when we\u2019re confronted with uncomfortable and even dangerous situations.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Time to Take Your Power Back!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re tired of feeling afraid, of loathing and blaming yourself, of feeling too vulnerable, then take YOUR power back right now. Recognize that you\u2019re a powerful being and claim it!
\nIt\u2019s time to stop waiting for someone else to rescue you. Summon your inner badass and rescue yourself!<\/p>\n

Our Movement Break Cards and Cool & Calm Cards are designed to help ALL children self-regulate so they can feel confident and maximize access to academic curriculum and social relationships. While these cards are currently available on Teachers Pay Teachers, in early Fall they will also be available to buy in stores. Local teachers, child psychologists and occupational therapists have been piloting them and I am getting rave reviews \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n More information on the cards:<\/p>\n For some children it is important to have set movement or calming breaks built into their daily routine to set them up for success. Others can use these on an as-needed basis. They can be used with the whole class, small groups, or individual children.<\/p>\n These Movement & Calming Break cards are designed to help students:<\/p>\n * Manage BIG emotions<\/p>\n * Develop a positive sense of self<\/p>\n * Reduce stress\/anxiety<\/p>\n * Develop core strength<\/p>\n * Attend to academic tasks<\/p>\n * Improve concentration\/focus<\/p>\n * Maintain focus<\/p>\n * Develop calm-down strategies<\/p>\n * Build resilience<\/p>\n * Identify positive ways to express ALL emotions<\/p>\n Most children love to get up and move. We know how important that is for health and general well being. Our goal is to empower children to learn what their bodies need and to provide them the tools to self-regulate and stay healthy. These break cards are designed to help regulate both over-arousal and under-arousal. They are great for all children, including those with ADHD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), low muscle tone and sensory processing difficulties.<\/p>\n These cards do not require the assistance of a teacher or classmates. They can help students during transition times, returning from recess, when they are required to be in a class meeting, on rainy days,\u2026. When a student begins to become dysregulated, they help a child return to equilibrium. Our goal is to help students feel calm and confident, so they can maximize access to academic curriculum and social relationships.<\/p>\n How the product works:<\/p>\n Each card has a picture of a child completing the given activity as well as written instructions. Each card also has a key animal so nonreaders can begin to associate the animal with the activity. On the back there are the words \u201cmission completed\u201d along with the animal so the teacher\/parent and students can easily assess progress at a glance.<\/p>\n With a Vis A Vis (wet erase marker) you can add details such as repetitions, time,\u2026if you wish. The writing will easily wipe off with a baby wipe or slightly damp paper towel.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Store\/Excited2learn<\/a><\/p>\n FACEBOOK<\/a> | INSTAGRAM<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a> | GOOGLE+<\/a> | GOODREADS<\/a><\/p>\n DLee’s First Day of School is a learning book for age\u2019s three to five.
