From the Cover Today, the dangers our children face both in and out of school
are more daunting than ever before. Daily, we read headlines about
the crimes perpetrated by students and on students and teachers.
Tragic school shootings have become an all too familiar fact of
life. School is not supposed to be a place where our children go to
die.How do we teach our children to react in situations that create fear and insecurity? And, what are the consequences to education when students, faced with stress and confusion, develop phobias, drop out of school, or worse. From A to Z, this clear, explicit, and practical guide addresses all the basic issues of prevention—both for safety and health—in an easy approachable format. What to do in case of assault, armed intruders, bullying, cyberstalking, discrimination, harassment, hostage situations, advances by strangers, sexual abuse, and more? What are the risks and consequences of alcohol abuse, drug and nicotine addictions, contagious diseases, eating disorders, or running away? From learning to say “No,” to protecting and being protected, to rescuing and helping one another, all situations are covered in this book: first aid basics (ABCs, CPR, recovery position), emergency lifesaving techniques (asphyxia, burns, asthma and panic attacks, choking, crushing, drowning, general discomfort, wounds), life-threatening situations and natural disasters (bomb threats, electric shock, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, landslides, terrorism, tornadoes). The book demonstrates how the prevention applies to everyone’s safety and encourages students to call on school staff and seek medical assistance in case of physical or mental anguish. More than ever before, students will benefit, within the framework of a quality education, from awareness of risk prevention as well as first aid basics. |
