Parents use these Tips for Tots with your children who are too young to read. It is important that you not frighten your child; but with repeated lessons - as with play school - teach him/her the following:
- Never get into a car with a stranger.
- Always play with a friend - "Be a buddy."
- Do not take presents from strangers.
- If a car pulls up where you are playing, back away and run either home or to a safe house.
- Teach him/her where a safe house is if you are going to be out.
- Teach your child to cry loudly for help and run if he/she is followed by foot or by car.
- Teach your child name, address and telephone number and 911 for Police.
- Practice dialing your number - including area code
- Teach your child a magic word; and he/she is only to go with someone who knows the magic word. (Make it simple and reiterate often.)
- Never open the door when home alone. Teach your child to dial police if person persists.
- Never let anyone touch them in a way they do not like - especially in an area covered by a bathing suit, and if they do to tell you about it at once.
- Assure them of your love and that they will not be blamed if they do to tell you about it at once.
- Never go anywhere without permission.
