Pre-K Safety Easton Officer Wagner, Hickory Hills Police Department Cathy Lewis, MSW, Dorn Elementary School Kathleen Easton, Parent Coordinator, NPD 117 March 2014 Parent Education
Home Community School As parents we have to create an environment that makes our children feel safe. Our children need to be able to ask us questions, even if we think they should know the answers. Today’s Presentation: Safety Easton
Inside Outside Home: Easton
The decision to leave your child at home unattended is based on the parents confidence in their maturity level, there is not a legal age. Inside Lewis
My professional opinion is that, if you have to question if your child is mature enough to be left at home than the answer is probably NO. Lewis
Emergency numbers Police, Fire, Family member Parents, immediate family numbers Cell phone versus land line? Cell phone, password protected???? Cordless phone, returned to the hook Address cooking or non cooking with your child What information is needed: Lewis
Make sure that your child/children know the numbers of the emergency personal as well as their parents. Its not enough to make sure that the child knows the number, they must be able to dial the number. Street name (complete address is ideal) First, last name. Nicknames use your best judgment Practice Lewis
Simulate a real phone call, more than once. At least 4 times of doing it correctly. True emergency, anxiety takes over, numbers posted in addition to memorizing. Role Play: Lewis
Emergency Template Lewis
Stranger Danger Teach the children to not get close to the vehicle or any adult. No safe adult is going to be asking a child directions or asking them to help find their puppy. Outside Lewis
With a friend at all times Child’s Boundaries: aware of where they can go. Walk boundaries with the child. Puppy, train them by walking the yards. Verbally, review them with the child. Bus stop, all parents are present, however, it is a good habit to walk home with a friend. Establish a safe house, good habit. Outside Lewis

Please discourage negative behavior towards the police. We NEED our children to associate the police as the people who will help. Police Sonntag
Reality; as an adult if the police are pulling you over and giving you a speeding ticket, no one in the car is going to be happy. Be careful what your child hears you say. Police Sonntag
Don't think you're child doesn't know where your gun is...They do! When sending your child to a sleepover, ask the parents if they own any guns. It is YOUR Business!! Gun Safety Sonntag

Make it a habit: at the beginning of any trip to a store, or an outing make sure that you predetermine an emergency meeting spot. Go to the spot with your child, make sure they understand. Takes one extra minute. Create a rhyme or a song for them to remember. Community Sonntag
