As the new school year begins, every parent wants to ensure their child is set up for success—both academically and in life. Two crucial aspects of your child’s development include their confidence in learning and their safety in everyday situations. At Living Strong Projects LLC, we’ve designed two powerful tools to empower your child: “The BIG 7” for academic success and the A-GAME Self-Defense guide to keep them safe.
The BIG 7: Empowering Your Child’s Learning Journey
Grounded in compassion, growth mindset, and realistic expectations, “The BIG 7” offers seven essential strategies that can help your child become a confident, motivated, and independent learner this school year. These principles focus on:
- Establishing a Consistent Routine to promote structure and minimize stress.
- Creating a Positive Learning Environment that encourages focus and growth.
- Encouraging Open Communication so your child feels safe to express themselves.
- Promoting Independence with Responsibility by teaching accountability.
- Setting Realistic and Compassionate Goals Together for achievable growth.
- Encouraging Curiosity and Critical Thinking to inspire a love for learning.

Each step in The BIG 7 ensures that your child is not only set up for academic success but also feels valued for who they are.
A-GAME Self-Defense: Keeping Your Child Safe in Everyday Life
Along with academic success, safety is a top priority for every parent. That’s where the A-GAME Self-Defense Bookmarker comes in. This simple yet effective guide helps children understand the importance of staying aware of their surroundings, making smart decisions, and acting quickly in uncertain situations.
The A-GAME strategy includes:
- AWARENESS: Encouraging your child to know their environment and develop a strong attitude toward daily living and potential danger.
- ASSESSMENT: Teaching them to evaluate their surroundings, the situation they’re in, and the people around them.
- ACTION: Guiding them to move effectively, make the right choices, and take action to stay safe.
With A-GAME, your child can be empowered to “GET HOME SAFE” whether they’re at school, home, or in the community. It’s a critical mindset shift that keeps them safe and confident every day.
