In self defense being "swept off your feet" isn't nearly as charming as it sounds. This game to is designed to help your child learn how to:
-Keep their balance when being pushed or pulled somewhere they don't want to go.
-Maintain a strong position to resist
-Break the grip the attacker has on their arm even when grasped with two hands.
This is amazing opportunity to build connection and the confidence needed to handle one of life's scariest situations. Make sure while you are playing your child never:
1. Over commits to the resistance so they wont fall over once they break the grip
2. breaks the grip with proper technique and not flailing and yanking
3. Know that in real life they should scream for help, run away and whatever else is necessary if it is an adult.
So clear a space and practice!
