​Why is it important?​

Kids are naive. They do not have a clear understanding of what is good or what can harm them. As parents, it is your duty to help them understand the different aspects of life. These safety rules will protect them when you are not around them.

Help them memorize emergency numbers

Teach your child how to stay safe at home. This includes knowing emergency phone numbers, and not opening the door to strangers.

Avoid interaction with strangers

Teach your child not to talk to or accept anything from strangers. Teach them that they should never go anywhere with someone they don’t know, even if the person claims to be a friend or family member.

​Teach them road-crossing rules​

Teach your child to look both ways before crossing the street and to use crosswalks when available. Stress the importance of waiting for traffic to stop before crossing.

Teach them the importance of road safety measures

If your child rides a bicycle, make sure they wear a properly fitting helmet at all times. Teach them the rules of the road and how to use hand signals when turning.

Teach them about fire safety

Teach your child what to do in case of a fire, including how to call for help, escape routes, and the “stop, drop, and roll” technique if their clothing catches fire.
