The effort to make our children safe doesn’t happen unless you do something. The “Safety Tool Kit©” holds some of the elements necessary to become a “Safe Parent”, and should remember and used to help keep safety “alive” in your home. It is easy!Taking the first step!
My Mom is amazing! She knows everything about safety!#2TEACHING SAFETY!It won't happen without you! In order for safety to become a reality in your home, you have to know what and how to teach. Our safety video, "Being a Safe Kid ©" is a great tool for teaching kids. The greatest teachers of all are: Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent, Neighbor, Fireman, Policeman or Teacher. Adults personally, showing kids different things and talking about them will help kids more than anything else. The problem we discussed is "quality time". That is the issue. We cannot teach unless we make it a priority. When it is a priority, then we will make the time! It is the parental and/or adults "hands on" training that will help children to develop the safety skills they need for life. This is truly about the adults around your children caring enough to insure that your kids understand. You have to look in them eye and go over things until they really have the concept. What value can be placed on these lessons?Reaching the hearts and minds of the kids!
#3PASSION!Passion opens the door to communication with your kids. They can sense that you really believe what you are teaching. The excitment and energy you feel will determine how your kids are motivated. If you believe in the importance of safety you have a chance to reach your kids. If you can motivate your children, then we need to focus on how we teach them. They should remember in such a way that they are ever mindful of protecting themselves. What good is safety training if it gets "covered up" in our hectic life styles. Motivate the kid, give them some memory tools, teach them safety principals, and follow-up with encouragement. Passion is energy!Motivated out of love!
#4CONNECT!Safety will fade into the sunset if you don't connect to re-energize safety in your life! Connect with safety oriented web sites, schools, organizations, and local professionals. Just having the word "safety" "cross" your mind is a huge improvement in terms of "keeping safety alive". If you list the things that are important to you and your family everyday, "safety", should be the top. Without it, you can take your list and throw it into the trash. The lack of safety can "trump" virtually everything else in your life. Get connected and stay connected! There is no excuse!
Here are the answers!These folks want to help you!
#5YOUR PARTNERS!Even the most safety conscientious parents will have times when their child is at risk. If your child has no safety training, then we are relying on luck or good fortune to protect them. With training, we can hope that they will use their safety skills and have a safe outcome. We place great limitations on the potential safety for our children if we don't train them. Trained they have a tremendous advantage over children with no training. A child is an intelligent creature with multiple senses to help recognize danger. For us to ignore these assets and rely totally on the adults around them for their own protection is foolish. The concept of the child being an asset in safety doesn’t diminish the parent’s needs to watch over the child. But in those moments when the child is unguarded, the training will make a difference. As they grow older these moments become minutes, then hours, and then perhaps all day long - the child needs to know what to do! There are no guarantees that even with training the child will make the correct choice. We can only hope that they will make a correct choice. As parents we have an obligation to do anything and everything that will help a child to be safe. To allow a child grow up in a home with little or no safety training is wrong. It is our duty and responsibility to teach safety to our children. The making of a Safety-Smart-Kid©!Meet your teammates!
