And now that kids are going back to school, be sure to review these school safety tips:
- Talk to your child or teen about walking safety. Teach your child to remove all distractions, to walk on sidewalks and to look before crossing the street.
- Talk to your kids about texting and social networking. Discuss the types of information that should not be shared and set boundaries.
- Talk to your kids about bullying. Encourage your child to come to you if they ever witness a bullying act or become the victim of it.
- Remind your child to dial 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency.
