The article "Safety While Your Child Is Alone" talks about family, it has been released by Robert Young.
Working parents - and that's the majority of American families
today - share the anxiety, frustration, and even fear involved
in leaving babies "on their own" when school lets out, child
care arrangements with neighbors and relatives break down, or
there simply are not any alternatives.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- Make sure your babies are ready to care for themselves.
- Teach them basic safety rules.
- Know where your kids are, what they are doing, and whom they
are with.
ARE THEY READY? CAN YOUR CHILDREN...
1.
Be trusted to go straight home after school?
2. Easily use the telephone, locks, and ktichen appliances?
3.
Follow rules and instructions well?
4. Handle unexpected situations without panicking?
5. Stay home alone without being afraid?
TEACH YOUR "HOME ALONE" CHILDREN...
- How to call 9-1-1 or your area's emergency number, or call
the operator.
- How to give directions to your condo in case of an emergency.
- To check in with you or a neighbor immediately after arriving
home.
- To never accept gifts or rides from people they don't know
well.
(And you approve of)
- How to use the door, windows, locks and the alarm system if
you have one.
- To never let anyone into the home without asking your
permission.
- To never let a caller at the door or on the phone know they
are alone.
- To carry a condo key with them in a safe place (inside a
shirt pocket or sock). Do not leave it under a door mat or on a
ledge.
- How to escape in case of fire.
- To not go into the condo or apartment if things do not look
right - a broken window, ripped screen, or opened door.
- To let you know about anything that frightens them or makes
them feel uncomfortable.
