Critical Rules To Teach Your Kids To Help Them Stay Safe

YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE LESS LIKELY TO PANIC IF YOU TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES.

• Talking to a stranger. It should be reiterated to children not to get into a vehicle or go with someone they don’t know or know well without a parent’s express permission. In addition, encourage them to yell and run away if they feel scared or uncomfortable and that you as a parent wouldn’t be angry if they made a mistake. They should be told if this does happen it is very important to report it to a parent or adult right away.

Identifying Safe Strangers

Don't assume that your young child knows what the word "stranger" means. Be sure they are aware that a stranger is anyone they don’t know. In a calm but firm manner, instruct them to never go anywhere, get in a car, answer questions, or accept anything from strangers - even if the person seems friendly. Stress the fact that strangers shouldn't be asking children for help or giving them things. Remind them that it's sometimes okay, however, to ask strangers for help.

What happens if you’re not around and your child needs help? Who can they go to for help? We must help our children know who they should approach if they need assistance. For instance, uniformed law enforcement can be a good place to start. Ensure your child knows what a police officer or firefighter looks like in uniform. If a uniformed law enforcement officer isn’t around, they can find a woman with children and approach her or a house with a mezuzah.

Help your child identify a safety net of trusted adults and places, such as stores, schools, Shuls, and homes of neighbors. Discuss safe routes to use on the way to and from school and other destinations, as well as places to avoid.
