There are many perils in the world which can be avoided if you can train your child to be able to have common sense skills especially outdoors. Here are some child safety guidelines from the Tulsa police force which you can integrate to your child’s rearing wherever you are:

Speak openly with about safety issues with your child.  Children will be less likely to come to you if the issue is enshrouded in secrecy.

Children can be raised to be polite and friendly, but they need to know that it is okay to say NO, even to an adult.

Parents and guardians should explain to children that the child’s personal safety is more important than being polite.

Kids need to be empowered with positive messages and safety skills that will build their self-esteem and self-confidence while helping to keep them safe.

If your child does share a situation with you, strive to remain calm, non-critical, and non-judgmental.

Call police immediately if your child has been a victim.
