🌴☀️ Happy Summer Break ☀️🌴
Summer’s here, and keeping our kids safe is our top priority! At ChildBuilders, we’re all about empowering families with safety skills that matter. Here are some tips to ensure a fun and safe summer for everyone:
Anticipate & Plan! Where is your child spending time this summer? What are some safety risks? Who are the safe adults in charge? Think it through ahead of time and and prepare your child. (E.g., water safety, sunscreen, knowledge of the rules/expectations)
Communication is key! Talk openly with your child about safety rules, boundaries, and how to seek help if they feel uncomfortable.
Practice makes perfect! Role-play possible safety situations with your child so they can practice skills like following water safety rules and getting help from a safe grown-up in an emergency.
Model emotional control, empathy, and assertiveness and encourage other adults caring for your child to do so as well. This will help your child stand up for themselves and feel supported by their caregivers if something potentially unsafe happens.
Let’s make this summer memorable for all the right reasons! Together, we can create a safer, happier world for our kids.
