Hello everyone. This weeks Personal & Home Security tip is. Protecting Your Child It has been said that children are our most valuable resource. Therefore it is absolutely necessary, that we take positive measures to insure their safety and prevent them from becoming victims of crime. Parents... 1, Never leave children alone, not at home, in a vehicle, (specially somewhere like here in Southern Nevada, where day time Summer temps can make the inside of a vehicle rise to over 200 degree's Fahrenheit). Never leave them alone at play or Anywhere 2, Define what a STRANGER is. Let your kids know that just because they see someone everyday (e.g Mailman, Paperboy, Neighbour etc) it does not mean that these people are not Strangers 3, Teach your children their Full Name, your Full Name, their Full Address and Phone Number, including Area Codes. Teach them how to use a phone as early as possible. 4, Teach your children the "What if...?" Game, making up different dangerous situations that they might encounter and helping them play out, what they would do in that situation. 5, Take the time to talk to your children and be alert to any noticable changes in their behaviour or attitude toward an adult or teenager, it may be a sign of sexual abuse. 6, Set up procedures with your childs school or day center, as to whom your child will be released to, other than yourself, and what notification procedures they are to follow if the child does not show up on time. 7, Teach your children that their body is private and that no one has the right to touch them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. If anyone touches them, or tries to touch them in a wrong way, they should shout or scream NO, GET AWAY FROM ME. Get them to understand that they must TELL SOMEONE they trust immediately. --------------------------------------------- For more tips, and the knowledge of what products to buy for Personal & Home Protection & Security.
