The curriculum contains educationally sound content for children, parents, teachers and administrators.

Ed, and a multidisciplinary team of educators and developmental psychologists to teach children critical personal safety information in a developmentally and age appropriate way.\u00a0<em>Safer, Smarter Kids\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Safer, Smarter Teens\u00a0<\/em>are evidence-based, pedagogically sound, spiral curriculum programs based on developmental milestones; as a child\u2019s world expands, so too does the content of the lessons to meet their increasing safety needs. The\u00a0<em>Safer, Smarter Schools\u00a0<\/em>program empowers children with tools that are not only protective from abuse, but also important esteem and safety issues such as bullying, Internet safety and empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the curriculum lessons, students are armed with protective principles and vocabulary to express their feelings and talk to a trusted adult. We know that 90 percent of the time a child is being harmed, it\u2019s at the hands of someone they \u2013 and their parents \u2013 know and trust, and that lessons such as \u201cstranger danger\u201d and \u201cgood touch, bad touch\u201d are antiquated and misinformed.
