July 11,18 radKIDS is the national leader in children's safety education and provides the only holisitic, practical and realistic life skills safety program available for children and parents today.  radKIDS training gives children the tools they need to recognize, avoid and escape potentially dangerous situations, including bullying, assault and abduction.  The radKIDS program is a 12 hour family centered safety education program that emphasizes essential decision-making skills and physical resistance options to escape violence. This program is designed for children from 5-12 years of age.  A few of the program components include: stranger tricks, internet safety, bullying prevention, personal safety, out and about safety, school safety, and realistic physical defense skills against abduction.  Children become empowered, learning to replace the fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills and self-esteem. Hopkinton residents and parents of 3 young children, Kim and Tim Brennan are certified radKIDS Instructors and are now offering this course to children and families in Hopkinton and surrounding towns.  The next radKIDS class will be held on June 25, 26, 29, & 30 from 8:30 - 11:30 am at 6 Main Street, Hopkinton (the John Warren Masonic Lodge).  The cost for the class is $90 per child ($60 for a sibling) and includes a Family Safety Manual, Safety Activity Book, Certificate, and more.  Another radKIDS class will be offered over the course of 4 Saturdays in July and August.  Dates for this class are July 11 & 18 and August 1 & 8; classes will be held again at the John Warren Masonic Lodge, 6 Main Street from 8:30 - 11:30 am.  The Freemasons of the John Warren Masonic Lodge have graciously donated their space for the radKIDS classes to be held. A free return and practice policy is honored at radKIDS classes across the country.  Once a child has taken the radKIDS class, they can enroll in any radKIDS class, free of charge up to the age of 12, for as many times as they would like. To sign up for one of the radKIDS classes, for more information, or if you are interested in sponsoring a radKIDS class contact Kim Brennan at  kim.brennan@comcast.net.  Space is limited and will be filled on a first come first serve basis.  Plans are in place to offer the radKIDS course again in the fall.  To learn more about radKIDS, visit www.radKIDS.org
