The idea of my children being harmed or lost is not something anyone wants to consider. I was so glad that last month, while reading an article on a blog, it mentioned that there was a service I could use to track my kids to be sure they were always in safe places. At the bottom it said I could follow the site anationofmoms and be entered for a drawing of 6 months free of the service. Not bad! http://anationofmoms.com/2011/08/protect-your-family-giveaway.html

But starting good habits like not letting your toddler go to the front door without you and constantly holding hands (or maintaining arms reach) while walking in public should be done from the get-go so they know that’s the routine.

My daughter furiously screamed when we put her on Santa’s lap a couple of months ago so I think we’ve got some time.

Children should learn personal safety at each level of development. Typically toddlers are rarely out of site of their parents so we don’t teach them about some of these issues when they’re that young. However, three is the perfect age to introduce safety – as she now can speak with you about it. Other things you can discuss are “My body belongs to me” concepts and “Never go with other people that you DO Know.” When we send our children off on play-dates, we need to introduce the concept of “Never leaving with other people – even if you know them and they say it’s okay.” Empower her to always tell you and your husband when ever she feels uncomfortable about situations where you’re not present. So as she grows up, it becomes habit that she comes to you when things don’t feel right. You’re on the right track. Thank you so much for sharing. We should do a video on this together.

The message, however, is the tough part. I’ll be interested to hear what others think. I know I’m not a parent, but I love the kids in my life and am very interested.
