With a grandaughter turning eight soon, and aware of the enthusiasm for lfe and the eagerness to show what they are campable of, to us adults, I had to love this story about two eight year old boys, Jake Satherley and his nipper friend Spencer Jeams.

The two young boys saw a miggle aged man struggling in a rip, out side of the flags, in the surf at a south-east Queensland, Gold Coast's Northcliffe beach and they rescued him by pulling him on to their surf board. They  had completed 'nippers training' and used the knowledge they had learned.

Children are capable of amazing acts of humanity.
Do your children have the knowledge that could save their own or another's life?

How can we teach children to be capable of protecting themselves from harm and being capable of protecting others, even saving another's life?
