With warmer weather here and our children spending time at the park. I wanted to share some safety tips.
Active Supervision: Stay within sight and reach of young children. Do not get distracted.
Establish a Secret Code Word: Create a unique code word to verify if someone else is picking them up. If the person doesn't know the word, the child should not go with them.
Trust Your Instincts: If a person or situation makes you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately.
Identify Safe Adults: Teach children to find police officers, security guards, or other mothers with children if they are lost.
Buddy System: Ensure children play in groups rather than alone, especially in secluded areas.
Be Aware of Grooming: Beware of strangers who show excessive attention, offer gifts, or ask children to keep secrets from parents.
