Teaching Grandkids Basic Safety Habits

Kids learn best from people they love. A few calm conversations with grandparents can stick for life.

Know your address and phone number

Practice until they can say both by heart.

When and how to call 911

Explain what an emergency is and practice what to say.

Trusted adults

Help them name a few adults they can go to for help.

Trust your feelings

Teach kids that if something feels wrong, it's okay to leave and tell someone.

Stay together

On outings, agree on a meeting spot if anyone gets separated.
