Child Safety Tips


What are the most important things parents should tell children about safety?

Always check first with a parent, guardian, or trusted adult before going anywhere, accepting anything, or getting into a car with anyone.
Do not go out alone. Always take a friend with when going places or playing outside.
Say no if someone tries to touch you, or treats you in a way that makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused. Get out of the situation as quickly as possible.
Tell a parent, guardian, or trusted adult if you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
There will always be someone to help you, and you have the right to be safe.

What should a parent know when talking to a child about safety?
Don’t forget your older children. Children aged 11 to17 are equally at risk to victimization. At the same time you are giving your older children more freedom, make sure they understand important safety rules as well.
Speak to your children in manner that is calm and non-threatening. Children do not need to be frightened to get the point across. In fact, fear can thwart the safety message, because fear can be paralyzing to a child.
Speak openly. Children will be less likely to come to you about issues enshrouded in secrecy. If they feel that you are comfortable discussing the subject at hand, they may be more forthcoming.
Do not teach “stranger danger.” Children do not have the same understanding of “strangers” as adults; the concept is difficult for them to grasp. And, based on what we know about those who harm children, people known to children and/or their families actually present greater danger to children than do “strangers.”
Practice what you preach. You may think your children understand your message, but until they can incorporate it into their daily lives, it may not be clearly understood. Find opportunities to practice “what if” scenarios.
Teach your children that safety is more important than manners. In other words, it is more important for children to get themselves out of a threatening situation than it is to be polite. They also need to know that it is okay to tell you what happened, and they won’t be tattletales.

Is "stranger danger"—that dangers to kids come from strangers—really a myth?

Yes. In the majority of cases, the perpetrator is someone the parents or child knows, and that person may be in a position of trust or responsibility to the child and family.
We have learned that children do not have the same understanding of who a stranger is as an adult might; therefore, it is a difficult concept for the child to grasp. It is much more beneficial to children to help them build the confidence and self-esteem they need to stay as safe as possible in any potentially dangerous situation they encounter rather than teaching them to be "on the look out" for a particular type of person.

Cold day!

hi all~!
How was your weekend? Mine was pretty stressful. These kids of mine who claim to be adults are worse than my younger ones. With the exception that they will not listen to me. Think they don't have to. Natasha says she's living with her (so called) friend & mom . I say so called because not long ago she didn't even like the girl. She needs to get a life as the saying goes because she's 20 & doesn't go to school or work or anything. Too much time for nothing. but she thinks she ca… Continue

Thursday afternoon~!!!

hi all!
How was your weekend? It was pretty fast to me. Of course it didn't help that Serena had me running to Walmart both days & Sunday I wanted to stay home under the covers so bad but she thought she had to go. It was like 5 below when I left. Monday night we were supposed to get up to 1 to 3 inches of snow. But we only got about an inch. I'm glad since I went to Bible study & MIT Tuesday morning. Today & Friday it's supposed to be 40. : ) It'll feel really warm. LOL.Compared
