Confident Kids

What is Confident Kids?

The "Confident Kids” Safety Program was developed by Derek Bindner to increase self-confidence levels in children, and to wipe out insecurities of feeling powerless in confrontational situations. The Confident Kids program takes a non-violent, non-aggressive approach to conflict resolution, featuring the principles of Aikido (the way of harmony with energy). By applying these principles along with powerful and effective verbal, psychological and physical techniques, your child will learn ways to neutralize violence.
