Below are ten basic "Play It Safe" rules. We recommend these procedures for parents to use when establishing rules for kids.

Testimonials

STRANGERS - Tell your child that he/she is not permitted to talk to anyone that you, the parent, do not know. "Do not talk to strangers" must be a continuous warning for kids.
WALKING AND PLAYING - Tell your child not to walk alone. It is a good idea to walk with a friend. They should also tell you where they are playing. Younger kids should play close to home.
GIFTS - Tell your child that any gift must be approved by you before they can accept it. Tell them not even to touch it until you approve it.
OFFERS - Tell your child that any offer to give an item to them or to take them somewhere requires your approval first.
UNATTENDED - Do not leave a child alone at any time in a public place. Require your child to stay close to you at all times, even while shopping. Toy departments are not babysitters.
RESTROOMS - Take very small kids into the restroom with you - do not consider their sex. Older kids using a public restroom should be accompanied by an attendant or if that is not possible, a parent should stand by the door and give the child a reasonable time limit.
SCREAMING - Let your child know that it is OK to scream if someone is forcing them to go with them against their will.
GOOD-BAD PEOPLE - Let your child know that you cannot tell whether people are good or bad by looking at them or just because they smile. If they are not sure if a person is good or bad, "ask mom or dad."
SAME AND SAFE ROUTE - Always stick to the same route in traveling to and from school or a friend's house.
SAFETY AT HOME - Always keep doors and windows locked when home alone. Keep important phone numbers close by the telephone.

Our children have become the "new victims" in a staggering number of yearly statistics of crimes against children. It is estimated that every day 100 children are abducted by strangers in this country.

Communicate to your children the importance of playing it safe. Establish ground rules that will increase their awareness towards the possible dangers that exist. Responsible and knowledgeable kids will have that winning edge when facing challenges in life.

If your group, school or organization is interested in a karate demonstration, call (610) 622-6601.
