Parenthood is already tough
enough as it is, with all the milestones our kids need to cope with, all the
growing, changing, and questions they ask. On top of all that, we are the
safe-keepers of their health, wellbeing, and their journey towards adulthood,
which makes our role in their lives precious and unique. For that very reason,
self-defense should be a key variable in your life, a goal you should
consistently strive to achieve and improve.
On the whole, self-defense is not
a single ability, but a set of skills that help you keep yourself from harm and
prevent any physical or emotional damage to befall your youngsters. In this
complicated, messy world of ours, everything from safe gun use, martial arts
classes, all the way to preventative security measures can help increase your
family safety. Here are a few suggestions to bring out your protective
instincts and to help you act in your family’s best interest when facing a
threat to your safety.
