What would you do if violence erupted while your family was having a picnic in the park? Do your children know what to do in an emergency, or would panic take over? These aren't comfortable questions, but they're essential ones in today's world.

Former Navy SEAL Jimmy Graham shares his expertise on family emergency preparedness and the importance of having a coordinated plan that includes children. He explains how his military and CIA protection experience shapes his approach to family safety and community building. We speak about:

• Importance of having a family emergency plan where everyone knows their role
• How to train children to respond to danger without creating fear
• Building discernment in children so they can handle situations when parents aren't present
• Creating a culture of excellence and responsibility within the family
• How to model intervention when witnessing problematic behavior
