It's the only instruction most kids ever get, and it gives them nothing to do when a situation turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Street Smart Kid Survival Guide gives your child 46 exact moves, ages 8 to 12. Not only what to watch out for, but exactly what to do when it happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTell a real gut warning from ordinary nerves , so an anxious kid isn't scared of everything Say no to a friend  without making it awkward Spot how an online stranger works his way in , and stop replying early Handle the doorbell and the phone home alone , and get out fast if something catches fire instead of trying to put it out Catch the scam  that looks like a message from their best friend YOU'VE ALREADY HAD THIS TALK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou worked this out the first time you let them walk somewhere alone. You said be safe, then said it twice more in different words, and stood at the window realizing you'd never told them what to actually do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou've tried to bring it up. Ten seconds in you get the eye roll, the I KNOW, Mom, and it's over. Then you're awake at 1 a.m. going through the list again, and you fall asleep having taught him none of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd they keep going further out. The phone. The group chat. The sleepover at a house you've never been inside. The walk home you can't watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery move works the same way.  Here's the situation. Here's what you do. Here's why it works. Here's your backup when it doesn't. Here's the exact sentence you say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHERE IS ONE OF THE 46\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomebody's walking behind your kid and something feels wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst they cross the street. Crossing is an ordinary thing people do, and it tells them whether they're actually being followed, because he has to cross too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf he crosses, they don't wait to be certain. They walk faster, toward people, and if he speeds up they run. And not home. Home might be empty, and it tells a stranger where they live. They head for the gas station on the corner, the one they walk past every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen they say it out loud to whoever's at the register: I think someone is following me. Can I wait here and call my mom?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe one move that never works is standing there hoping it goes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's one move. There are 45 more, four to six in every chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHY THEY'LL ACTUALLY READ IT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEleven chapters, each one starting with a kid their age who blows it, and then doesn't. No lectures. Nobody in this book is the dummy. And it isn't built to scare them. Every story ends with the kid handling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT IT ASKS OF YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost nothing. Your child can read it on their own, which is the point. The drills take ten minutes and a kitchen table. You don't have to be an expert or make a speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the back: a fill-in family plan, the emergency numbers, and one page for you on what to say the first time they tell you something frightening. It decides whether there's a second time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for ages 8 to 12, in language a third grader can read and a sixth grader won't roll their eyes at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou won't be there. Make sure the plan is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHand it to them tonight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52817483333848,"sku":"YSL30733","price":6.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71fabV1IOPL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793084550","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0hfrlxfsh","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
