Who to Call and When
One of the top home safety tips is how to use the phone. Make sure they know how to call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency (cell and portable phones must be charged and children must know to press call or send after 9-1-1). It also helps to discuss what constitutes an emergency, so your child doesn’t hesitate to call but doesn’t panic and call if the wind blows over the patio umbrella.
In addition, be sure your child knows how to reach important people—parent(s), grandma and grandpa, a neighbor or trusted family friend.
Keep important phone numbers where everyone can find them in a home message center.
