Child Safety Tips Learning how to stay safe is just as important as learning your ABCs. Start with these simple tips to help your child or grandchild stay safe. 1. Teach your child how to use 911. Your child should also know his/her full name, address, and phone number. 2. Teach your child about stranger danger. For example, never go anywhere with someone they don't know. Don't approach an unfamiliar car. 3. Don't place your child's name on personal items. This information could be used by strangers. 4. Teach your child what to do if you're separated in a public place. 5. Know exactly where your child is and whom they're with at all times. 6. Monitor your children's internet surfing. Every parent has had the frightening experience of looking away from their child for mere seconds, only to find them gone when they look back. Fortunately, they are usually quickly found close by. But what if they’re not? AIL’s Child Safe Kit® makes pertinent information about your child available in one place, at a moment’s notice, when seconds count the most. Child Safe Kits at No Cost.
