Hooray!  It’s summertime and time to play outside and have fun!  When you are playing with your buddies or away from home at the park, it’s important to remember to always be safe.  Safety is important so we can all have more time to do the things we like and not get hurt or be at risk.  These are some tips to keep you safe, your fogeys worry-free and you in the company of pals and fun :

Whenever you want to go play somewhere away from your house and yard, find a friend to go with you.  It may feel exciting to explore new places alone like an adventurer but it is better to always have somebody with you.  If you or your mate get hurt, then the other person can go get help! 

Any one that you don’t know very well is a stranger.  You may know what they look like and see them a lot, like the mailman or folk at the grocery store, but unless your fogeys tell you that the person is ok to trust, never tell strangers your name, address or phone number.  They could be very nice and already know your name but they’re still strangers. 

When walking down the road, walk on the side of the street where you can see the automobiles coming towards you.  If anyone pulls their vehicle over close to you and slows down, keep away from the vehicle.  Do not let them get close to you.  If you feel uncomfortable, do not forget to yell NO, RUN and TELL.  Scream “No!” as loud as you can, run to where there are safe adults and tell an adult immediately why you are scared.  If a stranger attempts to touch you or grabs you, it’s ok to fight if you do not need them to do that.  Scream and scream “Fire!” to get other adults to come over and help.  

I am sure you know your name but did you know your parents’ names?  You call them Mom and pa, Ma and Pa, or mum and Father but lots of other children do too.  If anything happens where you’re scared or hurt and can not find your Mom or Dad, find an officer or girl.  Tell them your parents’ first names and ask them to help.  It’s also very important to learn your address and phonephone number.  Practice writing them down and saying them aloud by heart.  

If you are unable to find a cop or woman, go to a telephone and dial zero or 911.  The people that you talk to will help you.  Don’t forget to stay on the telephone with the person till they tell you that it’s ok to hang up.  Never hang up the phone after dialing 911 until they are saying to hang up.  They have special computers that may tell where you’re calling from but they need sufficient time to work.  Bide your time so they can find you and help you. 

often it’s entertaining to write your name on things that belong to you.  It’s also simpler to find anything if you forget where you put it or somebody takes it by mistake.  Just be sure to not write your name where other people can see it.  If you would like to scribble your name on your sweatshirt because your friend has the same one, write it on the inside where only you can see it.  Do the same thing for shoes, your backpack and toys. 

If there’s anything that happens to you that causes you to feel sad, scared or uncomfortable, the neatest thing to do is to tell your parents or a grownup that you trust.  It’s never tattling to inform them if someone hurt you or made you’re feeling downcast.  If somebody asks you to keep a secret and you’re feeling yucky keeping that secret, then it is a bad secret.  A bad secret should always be shared with a grownup.  Good secrets are fun and make you excited.  They are ok to keep.  It isn’t making you a tattle-tale when you do not keep a bad secret.  

If you are home alone and someone calls or comes to the door, never say that you’re home alone.  If someone is at the door, don’t open it.  Keep it shut and locked.  Ask the person, “Who is it?” by yelling loudly at the closed door.  If they don’t answer or try to get in the door, go to the phone and call 911.  When anyone calls for your parents on the phone and they aren’t home, just tell the person that they’ll need to call back later.  If anyone calls and claims things that you loathe, breathes heavily into the telephone or doesn’t say anything at all, hang up and tell a grownup.
