TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE TALK TO THEM EARLY
AND REGULARLY ABOUT THEIR SAFETY

What Parents and Guardians Can Do

• Listen to your children
• Take the time to talk to your children
• Know who your children’s friends are
• Notice when anyone shows one or all of your children too much attention or begins giving them gifts
• Teach your children that they should say NO to any unwelcome, uncomfortable, or confusing touch or actions by others
• Be sensitive to any changes in your children’s behavior or attitude
• Look and listen to small clues that something may be troubling your children, because children are not always comfortable disclosing disturbing events or feelings
• If your children do share problems with you, strive to remain calm, noncritical, and nonjudgmental
• Be sure to screen babysitters and caregivers
• Provide oversight and supervision of your children’s online computer use
• Be involved in your children’s activities
• Work with your children’s school to institute sound child-safety programs as part of their curriculum
• Practice basic safety skills with your children, and discuss their safety openly and honestly
  

For now, with my daughter being only 2, she is not very independant (independant in a close way, we can call it) and so she is not put into many situations that could be dangerous because of how close I am at all times. The only thing is her babysitter, who I definitely keep close tabs with!

Very good post, it's so important to be attentive. I hope to be able to always take the best care of my daughter and keep her from any harm as she grows.
