Physical restraint

Hello little one,

Today we will be talking about something called physical restraint.

Physical restraint is when someone is prevented from moving freely by another person, using a technique or device like holding someone's arms or legs to stop them from moving.

Sometimes it may be necessary to keep someone safe from themselves or others. If someone is upset, aggressive, or at risk of hurting themselves or others, it might be necessary for a trusted adult to restrain them to calm them down and keep them safe.

However, physical restraint can be tricky because it can be dangerous if it's not done properly. It is important to know when and how to do it safely and effectively. It can also be scary or uncomfortable for the person being restrained.

That's why physical restraint should only be used as a last resort, and only by trained professionals who know how to do it safely. It's important to remember that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and physical restraint should not be used as a punishment or to "break" someone's spirit.

Remember, safety is important, but so is treating others with kindness and respect.
