BECAUSE IT MATTERS NOW

Teach your child to be safe without terrifying them.

Built for the grown-up who values building trust and being honest.

Look. I get it. Raising kids in a world with school shootings makes you sick. It’s wrong and inexcusable because they should just be safe. If you are grieving that, I’m with you.

And as you grapple with those feelings, I know you’re worried about how this reality is impacting your child.

Listen, Run, Hide will boost your confidence and empower you to become your child’s number one support person. When they have questions, they’ll come to you and you’ll be able to answer even the trickiest questions.

Look. I get it. Raising kids in a world with school shootings makes you sick. It’s wrong and inexcusable because they should just be safe. If you are grieving that, I’m with you.

And as you grapple with those feelings, I know you’re worried about how this reality is impacting your child.

Listen, Run, Hide is perfect for you if:

✅ You are very intentional in your parenting,

✅ Your child is doing lockdown drills,

✅ You want your child to be empowered to put their safety first always.

✅ When equipped with the right tools, you tackle hard conversations,

✅ It’s important to you that your child feels like they can talk with you about the scary things of the world, or

✅ You have questions about how to teach children safety at school.

Science shows that children who experience something stressful while having the support of a trusted adult, cope better and become more resilient than children without support.

Let's talk about what NOT to do when talking to your child about lockdown drills:

❌ Do not talk about something else to try to soften the conversation and hope they connect the dots on their own.

Children take things very literally. If you only ever teach them about what to do if a dragon comes to their school, they won’t know what to do if a bad person comes to their school. They only ever practiced for dragons…

What’s more, when you talk around an issue, you tell your child the topic is uncomfortable to you. They won’t feel safe bringing it up to you later on when they need you most.

❌ Do not only address the emotional side of lockdown drills.

Helping your child process their emotions around lockdown drills is important. But if you only ever talk to them about their feelings, you miss the point of lockdown drills - to teach your child to get to safety.

We may as well not do drills and save ourselves the scary feelings if we only ever talk about the emotions and never the lessons.

❌ Do not be passive.

Many lockdown drill conversations focus on what students should do when they are inside the classroom. But what if your child is walking back from the bathroom? What if they don’t make it into their classroom before the door locks?

I craved something that would empower my child to get to safety no matter the situation or where she was. Always.

Grab the book that does NONE of those things:

I WANT THE BOOK THAT GETS THIS RIGHT ->

Here's what you SHOULD do:

✅ Bring the topic up first so they naturally turn to you when they have questions.

✅ Be both honest and age appropriate.

✅ Figure out what they know or believe so you can build on it or correct misunderstandings.

✅ Let them ask you questions.

✅ Give them permission to put their safety above everything else.

✅ Remember this is one conversation of many. You are laying the groundwork for a lifetime of important conversations.

I WANT TO SHOW UP PREPARED ->

Listen, Run, Hide was born from a mom struggling just like you are now.

The day I learned my child would be doing lockdown drills, my mama heart broke. I knew I needed to be ready to hold whatever emotions she brought home.

What’s more, I wanted to teach her what she should do if something were to happen at her school. I wanted to increase her chance of coming home to me.

But I had no idea what to say. I checked for books to help me, but I knew we needed something that followed best practices for talking to kids about hard topics - something I first began studying over a decade ago during my Elementary Education undergraduate studies.

So I wrote the book every mom needs. Because that's what you and I do - we show up for our kids. Yes, ~~even~~ especially in the hard topics.

And I took every step possible to make sure this book is perfect for you and your child...

Vetted by the nation's top school safety leaders and other professionals.

First, I researched lockdown drills across the United States. I looked at what the federal government was recommending and how private safety companies adapted these ideas.

I read pages of policies from school districts and law enforcement agencies around the nation. And I even did a deep dive into why we do lockdown drills and where they began.

Next was collaboration.

Multiple nationally-recognized lockdown drill experts helped shape the instruction with the most notable being Katherine Schweit, the creator of the FBI’s active shooter program.

Schweit says she is passionate about helping families have conversations with kids about safety because she has seen it save lives.

Additionally, pediatric mental health care providers reviewed the manuscript to ensure it was as soft as possible.

Now the book exists that, as a mom, I so badly needed.

What does this book teach? Exactly what you and your child need to know so that they respond to an emergency in the way that puts their safety first.

1) Listen

I get it. Your child doesn't always listen to you at the best of times and you worry about how they may act in an emergency. I was there too.

That’s why the first thing Listen, Run, Hide teaches is to listen and follow directions during emergencies. In a high-stakes moment where seconds matter, you need your child to do what you ask, quickly, and without question. This book will help you teach them exactly that.

2) Run

Your child is told to not run in public all the time. But you realize that in an emergency, running could save their life.

For example, did you know that during the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, nine students survived because they ran out of the classroom?

Listen, Run, Hide will give them a clear understanding that their safety is more important than rules. Sometimes running is not only allowed, but it’s exactly what you need them to do.

3) Hide

We tell our children not to hide from us (that’s scary) or from their friends (that’s rude - except for when playing games). But hiding in an emergency could literally save their life.

You need to have a conversation with your child so they know hiding when they feel unsafe is okay. They need you to teach them that areas that are normally off-limits like emergency exits, teachers lounges, and employee-only areas, are all good places for hiding.

Reading Listen, Run, Hide will empower you and your child to adopt a safety-first view of their world.

THIS IS THE BOOK I NEED ->

With a guide at the end to help you apply it all...

You’ll want to apply everything you and your child just learned to their real life. But you won’t have to do it alone.

The guide at the end of the story will walk you through the exact follow-up questions to ask your child. They will know exactly who they should trust, which rules they should break, and where they should go for safety.

Thanks to your guidance, your child will have a specific safety plan and you will remove all guesswork - leaving them feeling confident, empowered, and ready to put their own safety first.

Your child needs your help to understand that the rules they learn each and every day, go out the window when there is danger.

YES, I WANT THIS FOR MY CHILD ->

Be the safe person your child needs for this conversation.

Grownup, I totally feel you. This topic is terrifying and you wish desperately that this wasn’t a part of life for your child. Me too!

And if you and I were in charge, we’d snap our fingers and remove this type of emergency forever.

But you can’t control the world they’re growing up in.

All you can control is:

💛 the support they receive,

💛 the safety lessons they learn,

💛 the empowerment they feel, and

💛 that they don’t grow up with this scary reality alone.

Your child's next lockdown drill could be this week. Give them what they need, Because It Matters Now.
