Great protection devices for Children and the Elderly! Younger children need some sort of protection nowadays. Many children are left standing at the school bus stop awaiting the bus while parents need to rush off to their place of employment. Many criminals are lurking, watching as children are left to await the bus. Some children are by themselves at bus stops as no other children are requiring it. This is a disaster waiting to happen.Personal Alarms are a perfect device for children. They come in different styles and have loud alarms with some being able to be heard up to a half mile away. The keychain alarm which I recommend for children, they can actually carry their house keys with them and the alarm will be handy at all times. Pull the small pin and this small wonder packs a lot of sound. For less than 10.00 it's well worth the money!Depending on the physical condition of an elderly person, some forms of self defense weapons might not be an option for them to carry. These personal alarms are also great for older individuals, they are easy to operate. I also suggest pepper sprays as they too are easy to operate, compact as well and can be carried at...more

Child Discipline Techniques - How To Get Help When You Need It I have just read a shocking report about the lack of child discipline techniques. A major charity received over 80,000 calls from parents in a two year period. Of that total, about a third were from parents who were reporting and seeking help for child behavior problems. The major problem was verbal abuse followed by physical aggression. It certainly seems that child-on-parent abuse is on the increase.So, how do you get help when you are in a similar situation? Have you got a system in place to stop the verbal abuse, the threats, insults and the defiant oppositional behavior that goes with it?Most child discipline techniques will concentrate on enabling parents to put a comprehensive system in place which draws on a set of guidelines and procedures so that parents can use these with confidence when things get really tough.Most parents I know who can deal with this sort of verbal abuse have a big red poster on the fridge door which says that there is no excuse for abuse. They have also explained to their kids that they are totally accountable for any behavior like that and they have to put up with the...more
