Bullying at School: What Parents Can Do

MUNIO Self Defense Blog

Bullying at school is not a new problem — it’s been a tormenting reality for millions of children or teens perhaps for as long as schools have been around.

Tips and Strategies for Managing Bullying

SOS Safety Magazine

Bullying and other kinds of violence happen more often than we would like. Here is a quick list of strategies to manage bullies in your life. Talk to Someone: First and foremost, reaching out for help is key to gaining the confidence and support to manage bullies. That does not always mean that you will be able to hide behind someone to avoid the bully. The benefit of connecting with someone is getting to tell them how you feel, how it is impacting you, and to strategize with some support. After all, most of the strategies, including this one, require some practice to get better. Having someone around to coach you is important. More importantly, they can remind you that it is not your fault and that you are not alone. First Impressions: Sometimes, how we behave or carry ourselves might catch a bully’s attention. It is still not your fault. However, it might be good to develop some habits that avoid bullies in the first place (if you can). “I didn

6 Safety Tips For Walking With Your Baby: Self Defense For Moms

Girls Who Fight Blog

The most important thing to a mom is protecting her child. That’s something I didn’t fully feel until I had my baby girl this past January 2024. It completely changed how I think about safety when we’re walking, so let’s dive right into our 6 self defense tips for walking with your baby. Tip 1. Walk with your dog A dog is arguably the number one best security system. They do all three components to self defense that we teach women in our program: deter, detect, and defend. They’re a major deterrent to attackers due primarily to their bark. The last thing an attacker is looking for is attention and a dog almost guarantees it. You can’t turn off a dog. The only way to stop a dog from barking at a clear threat would be to shoot it. And a loud gunshot defeats the purpose of shutting down a loud bark. They detect threats faster than the threat can detect them. My dog Rocky will spot anyone in our line of sight from very far away
