As individuals, we should all have the feeling of safety. Be it safety at home, at school, or playing in the neighborhood; children most of all should have this feeling.
Unfortunately this is not always the case. The Shuharikan strives to provide students skills to deal with physical dangers as well as a number of ways to deal with conflict from others, often verbal in nature.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children created a wonderful resource guide, Personal Safety for Children, for parents to share and discuss concepts with their children.
SAFETY
Dear! of all happy in the hour, most blest
He who has found our hid security,
Assured in the dark tides of the world that rest,
And heard our word, "Who is so safe as we?"
We have found safety with all things undying,
The winds, and morning, tears of men and mirth,
The deep night, and birds singing, and clouds flying,
And sleep, and freedom, and the autumnal earth.
We have built a house that is not for Time's throwing.
We have gained a peace unshaken by pain for ever.
War knows no power. Safe shall be my going,
Secretly armed against all death's endeavour;
Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall;
And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.
-Rupert Brooke
