July 25th is World Drowning Prevention Day. Worldwide, 26 people PER HOUR die by drowning; here are 4 ways you can help prevent tragedy. 1. Get your lifesaving and CPR certifications, so you'll be prepared in the case of a water emergency (at the pool or anywhere). 2. Teach others how to swim. Many drownings happen simply because the victims didn’t know how to swim. Whether through a program or just informally with your friends and family you can share your skills to make others safer around water. 3. Be aware of others around you and keep an eye out for risks. Raise an alarm if you see unsafe behavior, unsupervised children or other risks. 4. Understand that others may want to hide their lack of competence in the water at their own risk. Don’t take their word for it that they are safe in the water; decide for yourself who is likely to be at risk. https://lnkd.in/gMSCFhTV

As fathers, we can’t always be there to protect our loved ones. Gone are the days when parents could find peace of mind in the hope that a Good Samaritan would step in if their child was in trouble. Today, people are more likely to record an incident on their phones rather than intervene. Moreover, the threats we face today are ten times greater than those from twenty years ago. Empower your loved ones. A family that is informed, aware, and equipped with these skills is a difficult target. If they do become targets, it won’t last long because the adversary will quickly realize the risk and move on to someone else. Don’t wait until it’s too late, take action, be resilient. Book today!

A lot of the work I do with parents is around prevention. 📍 I always say that I like to live in “prevention land”! 😉 Prevention involves proactively addressing potential triggers and creating supportive environments to reduce the likelihood of challenging behaviours. This includes setting clear expectations and providing consistent routines. 🔍 By focusing on prevention, you can foster positive behaviors and minimize disruptions, creating a more manageable day-to-day routine. ✅ #parentcoach #parentconsultant #prevention #behaviour #support #understandingbehaviour
