Staying Safe Over Summer

While children enjoy being out with their friends, there may be times when they do not feel safe or secure and wish to come home. Talking to your child in advance about what to do in these situations can provide peace of mind for both of you. It also helps to model the kind of thinking they will need to do independently as they get older. Things to talk about with your child when safety planning:

• Where are they going and with whom?

• What time should they return and how will they get home?

• Is their mobile phone fully charged?

• Do they have money for a taxi, train or bus fare?

• What should they do if they want to come home early?

Also, when it comes to sun safety, it is good practice to remind children to put sunscreen on before leaving the house, to wear a hat and sunglasses and to stay well hydrated in hot weather by drinking lots of water.
