	Self Defense Basics Would you like the CONFIDENCE to know that you could handle any physical confrontation? Would your child really know what to do if he or she were being bullied? In this info session you will learn more about both our child and adult programs. We will speak about awareness and about the basic layers of personal defense we all need to have. You will leave the session with some simple, yet profound movements and concepts that will help keep you and your loved ones safe!
	Child and Infant CPR Demonstration Parents hope to never be put in the position of having to save an infant or child’s life, but it could happen. Attend a demonstration of infant/child CPR by retired EMT-Paramedic, Michael Riggs, of First Aid & Safety of Texas. The demonstration will explain the basics of CPR, but please don’t rely on it as your sole source of information. Set aside a few hours to take an infant and child CPR course to learn and practice the proper techniques. These techniques differ depending on the age of the child. First Aid & Safety of Texas will be giving away free registration gift cards to upcoming CPR+AED certification courses.
	Redirecting the Virtual Generation - Parents today are faced with a new digital generation of children who very often seem ‘addicted’ to video games. Patrick Biron, curriculum and program director for Kidventure discusses the psychological reasons behind the grip that video games have on young and old alike, and how parents, teachers, and mentors can use these same tactics and address the same developmental needs of our children to redirect our kids to other, more purposeful activities.
