Safety Tips
Last week we went over 5 of our top 10 safety rules for this summer. Let’s discuss the next 5.
- DON’T drop your children off at malls, movies, video arcades or parks. These are not safe places for children to be alone.
- TEACH your children in whose vehicle they may ride.
- BE SURE your children know their curfew and check in with you if they are going to be late. If children are playing outside after dark, make sure they wear reflective clothing and stay close to home.
- CHOOSE babysitters with care. Obtain references from family, friends, and neighbors. Many states now have registries for public access to check criminal history or sex-offender status. Observe the babysitter’s interaction with your children, and ask your children how they feel about the babysitter.
- CHECK out camp and other summer programs before enrolling your children. See if a background screening check is completed on the individuals working with the children. Make sure there will be adult supervision of your children at all times, and make sure you are made aware of all activities and field trips offered by the camp or program.
