Safety means being free from harm or risk. To be safe, you need to be careful. “The world’s children de serve to walk the earth in safety,” quoted by Bill Clinton, 42nd U.S. President. With this ever-changing world, we must teach our children how to be safe and who to trust and who not to trust. There are three important things you can do to help your self be safe: • Know the safety rules and guidelines to follow at home, at school, in activities, and on Extension Today Brenda Currie The Rev. Robert Martin, McLauchlinTownship,finds this bird among his chicken flock. “It puts you in the mind of a crow but his tail is too short and his feet are not right,” says Martin. His foot has lobes or flaps like a coot but he has a black bill. He is dark gray with light feathers beneath his wings. your own. • Know what to do in an emergency. • Make good choices when you’re in an unsafe or tricky situation. Give your children consis tent love and attention Every child needs a strong, loving relationship with a par ent or other adult to feel safe and secure and to develop a sense of trust. Children depend on their parents and family members for encouragement, protection, and support as they learn to think for themselves. Without proper supervision, children do not receive the guidance they need. Insist on knowing where your children are at all times and who their friends are. When you are unable to watch your children, ask someone you trust to watch them for you. Never leave young children home alone, even for a short time. Steps for a child to take in case of an emergency • Teach your child to stay calm. • They should find an adult who can help right away • If they can’t find a trusted adult, call “9-1-1” or dial “0” for the operator. • They should tell the prob lem to the person on the phone. Tell it as clearly and briefly as they can. • Tell the person their full name and the address or place they are calling from. • Stay on the phone to answer and ask questions and to get more instructions. Guidelines for safety Stick to safety rules at school, on the bus, on the street, at home, and in sports and other activities. Don’t get involved with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, matches, fireworks, knives or guns. Don’t touch these things if an adult isn’t present because this can prove to be dangerous. Feel safe inside by follow ing safety rules, being careful, knowing what to do in an emer gency, and making safe choices. Your children should encourage their friends to be safe, too. Stick to what they know is right even if friends tease or try to change their mind. Teach your children to trust their instinct. Listen to the voice inside them that says something isn’t right. They can yell for help if they’re in danger or make some type of noise. Parents play a valuable role in reducing violence by rais ing children in safe and loving homes. It’s not easy to show love to a child all the time. It can be even harder if you are a young, inexperienced, or single parent, or if your child is sick or has special needs. If your baby seems unusually difficult to care for and comfort, discuss this with your child’s pediatrician, another physician, a psycholo gist or a mental health provider.
