My Daughter's Keeper

Mothers are tasked with keeping their children safe, particularly their daughters. While dad may pay for an adt security system at home or pick her up from school, mom is responsible for imparting safety wisdom on her daughter from a young age.
Teach your daughter self defense. Not only is it a great bonding experience, but self-defense classes are a terrific way to prepare your daughter for the real world. Sign up for weekly classes at the gym or YMCA and revel in how strong and confident your daughter becomes when learning self-defense techniques.
Teach your daughter not to be vulnerable. It’s important that mothers make sure their daughters know what’s safe and what’s asking for trouble. For example, teach your girl not to walk through a parking lot alone at night and never to get in an elevator alone with a strange man. It may seem overprotective, but it’s always better safe than sorry.
Teach your daughter to trust her instinct. The most important tool at your daughters disposal is her own gut instinct so teach her to listen and heed internal warnings. If she feels unsafe she probably is, so make sure your daughter knows it’s okay to be impolite or rash if it means protecting herself.
