Peer Proof has been specifically designed to help children understand and learn how to act assertively in the face of aggression, as well as how to build and nurture positive relationships with those around them. Children learn to define positive qualities of friendship, practice giving and receiving complements and how to initiate and maintain conversations. Through role playing and skits, children experience the consequences of aggressive, assertive, and non-assertive behavior. As a result, children gain a deeper understanding of how their own demeanor contributes to how others treat them.
Children learn to make decisions based on good judgment.
While Camp Fire does not condone leaving young children at home alone, we recognize that children may face emergency situations or danger when an adult is not present. This could be at home, at a friend's house, on the way to school or even at a shopping mall. Course Goals Teach children in first and second grade skills to be self reliant and act responsibly and independently in various environments. Help children learn the importance of living safely and avoiding unnecessary risks. Help children develop a positive self-image by building confidence.
