Child Safety
Ralph Winn
When protecting your family, the safety of your children is
likely your number one concern. Child safety is important at
all times, inside or outside the house. Here are a few ways to
maintain child safety in your life.
Child Safety Tip #1: Arm Against Strangers
You can’t be with your children all the time. If your children
are old enough to play in the yard alone, or ride bikes around
the neighborhood, you must protect them from dangerous
strangers. When it comes to child safety, protecting your child
from people who mean to do them harm is parents’ number one
concern. Pepper sprays can effectively disarm a criminal and
give your child time to run and scream for help.
Child Safety Tip #2: Arm Against Animals
Strangers aren’t the only ones who can do harm to your child. A
loose dog or angry raccoon is an equal danger in many
neighborhoods. Protect your kids by arming them with animal
repellant when they leave the yard to play. Give them canine
repellant and even bear repellent if you live in bear country.
Child Safety Tip #3: Make Some Noise
Many children are snatched right from their front yards.
Sometimes screaming isn’t enough. Personal safety alarms will
draw attention to your child’s situation immediately. If a
stranger approaches and tries to attack your child, the child
can set off their personal safety alarm, which will emit a high
pitched siren to call for help. Often, the criminal will run
away.
Child Safety Tip #4: Keep Them Safe From Fires
In the event of a fire, a smoke alarm’s shrill tone is often
enough to rouse sleeping adults and alert them to the danger,
allowing them time to escape. However, studies have shown that
young children may actually sleep through such alarms. Doctors
have found that children respond best to the sound of their
parents’ voices. Hence the invention of the vocal smoke alarm.
It allows you to record your own instructions that will play in
the event of a fire: “Maddie, wake up. It’s Mommy. There’s a
fire. Get out of the house like we practiced.” Make sure your
child knows what actions to take in the event of a fire, like
feeling doors for heat and crawling below the smoke. Have a
designated meeting place for all family members to gather once
they escape, so you can do a quick headcount and ensure
everyone is out.
Child Safety Tip # 5: Watch Them When You Aren’t Around
It’s hard to leave your children alone with a nanny or
babysitter. Are you sure you can trust them? Would the children
tell you if something was wrong? Get peace of mind from a hidden
camera that can monitor your children for you, either while you
are away or even just in another room. Whether you have a spy
camera in every room or just one, the technology is an
excellent addition to your child safety security system. If you
have suspicions that something is happening in your home without
your knowledge, a spy camera can be your eyes for you when you
are not around.
But aside from using high-tech child safety devices, increase
your children’s personal security by teaching them how to
protect themselves.
• Never get into a stranger’s car.
• Don’t even talk to strangers.
• If someone makes you uncomfortable, go tell a trusted adult
or just shout “No! Help!” as loud as you can and try to run
away.
• Stop, drop, and roll.
• Dial 911 in an emergency.
All these basic rules will help protect your children.
Technology can boost child safety, but common sense is also a
must.
