Don't talk to strangers Is the most common thought we have as parents and caregivers when we first start thinking about safety for our children. Unfortunately, it's not enough: as you are aware, child abuse seems to have increased dramatically. And everyone I talk to seems to wonder what else they can do to ensure the safety of their child. All I can say is keep learning about safety: learn new techniques, share your information, and most importantly TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN! Not once or twice, but many times. In a majority of incidents regarding children who have been assaulted/abducted, the abuser was known to either them or a member of the family. Tips for parents: daycare workers, teachers, friends, and family will find useful are in this course! To help keep your kids safe, take this course and help others become more informed. This course is designed to assist parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone who has an interest in keeping our children aware of the dangers in our streets, schools, and possibly even our own homes. There is no need for a college diploma or a university degree to take this course. It is designed to assist anyone who needs to know how to streetproof a child and what you can do to make a difference. This course can be done at your own time frame, in your own home, and done with your child at the same time if you wish! Information about resources will be shared with other students, who in turn can share this information to help others who need it! Instructor available when needed! Take the time to invest in your child's safety, it could be the best investment you have ever made. Bonus-------more prevention tips will be added from my child abuse sites!
