Bully Program
Man & Beast Motivators (a division of Animal Adventures) is excited to announce our new, cutting-edge bullying and self-esteem programs.
With the use of our premium exotic animals to captivate the attention of children and adults and to illustrate any message being conveyed, our professional speakers will teach the students:
- Why bullying is unacceptable.
- Why we are responsible for our own actions.
- How we can prevent ourselves from being bullied.
New statistics show that 75% of students are subjected to harassment or bullying, and 8% of students admit to missing at least one day of class per month because of a bully. Man & Beast Motivators uses a completely different presentation style to show why people bully, assessing the causality of bullying, and how to avoid being bullied. Our goal is to teach young children in a gentle and polite way to take responsibility for their actions and behavior.
Ed Laquidara is an experienced educator and has a wealth of knowledge having spent many years as a martial arts instructor teaching all aspects of self-esteem and self-defense, particularly to students who were bullied. Ed is one of few Americans who trained and taught at the famed Shaolin temple in China. And as the proud father of six children, Ed has much experience teaching, guiding, and encouraging children and young adults of all ages.
