Teaching Your Teenage Kids Safety
This a tricky time, because you're loosening the reins and teaching your teenagers independence. However, it is your responsibility, as parents, to safeguard your children and to teach them the skills they need to be safe. It's also your duty to set rules and guidelines that will ensure their safety, so that they don't turn up dead in Delta state or anywhere else.
Things You Should Tell Your Teens About Going Out
- DON’T GO OUT ALONE. There is safety in numbers. This rule isn’t just for little kids, it applies to teens, too.
- ALWAYS TELL AN ADULT WHERE YOU’RE GOING. Letting someone know where you’ll be at all times is smart. If you’re faced with a risky situation or get into trouble, your family and friends will know where to find you.
- SAY NO IF YOU FEEL THREATENED. If someone—anyone—touches you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, you have the right to say no. Whether it is pressure about sex, drugs, or doing something that you know is wrong, be strong and stand your ground.
Things You Should Tell Them About Staying Home Alone
- Check out the house before entering.
- Go to a safe place to call for help if something doesn’t seem right.
- Lock the door.
- Call your mom or dad when you get home to let them know you’re safe.
- Never tell callers that your parents aren’t home.
- Instead say that he or she can’t come to the phone and offer to take a message.
- Don’t open the door for or talk to anyone who comes to your home unless that person is a trusted family friend or relative and your mom or dad has said it is okay.
