Children should be seen and heard.

Posted by melissadespina in About

They have a right to use the voice they are born with.

They have a right to discover, explore, and set their boundaries.

They have a right to connect with their inner strength.

And all children deserve to develop their ability to navigate this complicated world with confidence, dignity, and a sense of security.

Kids Setting Healthy Boundaries, a four-session child safety / self-defense course available virtually or in-person (in Jerusalem), emphasizes the development of self-esteem, resilience, and the ability to manage conflicts.
