Use Your Loud Voice

A boy runs toward his house while a girl holds up firm stop hands at a large faceless black shadow stranger, beside a sign reading Stop, Run, Tell.

Big Idea

Use Your Loud Voice: "NO!", "STOP!", "You're not my parent!".

Story time

One morning at the farmers market, Clara and Sam talked about “use your loud voice.” Aware, confident kids know how to get to safety. Clara said, “Let's try it today!” Sam smiled and said, “Let's do it together.” By the end of the day, they both felt proud of the healthy choice they made.

Try it!

Practice your big strong voice with a grown-up: stand tall and say 'NO! STOP!' Then practice your home address as a little song.
