What is an example of escort within personal restraint?

• A. A caregiver uses physical force to move or direct a child who resists moving with the caregiver to another location.
• B. Verbal redirection and de-escalation with no physical contact
• C. Physical force applied by the child in self-protection
• D. Restraining a child with a device

Answer: (A)

Escort within personal restraint means a caregiver physically guiding a resisting child to a safer location, using only the minimum amount of force necessary to accomplish the move. This is a protective action aimed at safety, not punishment, and is intended to be brief and proportional to the risk. The example shown fits because it describes a caregiver using physical guidance to move or direct a child who resists moving to another location. Verbal de-escalation without contact, a child using force in self-protection, or restraining with a device do not illustrate this brief, protective escort.
