Would your child know what to do in a dangerous situation? In this episode, DJ sits down with Robert Wylie from DPP Defense to explore how parents can teach kids practical self-defense, situational awareness, and emotional resilience. From identifying threats and de-escalating conflicts to running safety drills just like fire drills, Robert shares expert strategies to help children stay safe, confident, and prepared.

With over 30 years of experience in personal defense, Robert has trained with law enforcement, taught self-defense to youth, and studied predator behavior. He introduces the “What Would I Do?” game—a powerful tool to prepare kids for real-world dangers like mob mentality, riots, and personal attacks.

Tune in to learn how intentional parenting and open communication can build self-sufficient, street-smart kids. And keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Defense Against Frogs, Dogs, and Humans!
