Counselor's Corner
Personal Space and Personal Safety will be taught during classroom school counseling lessons this month. An online collection of resources can be found here: Teaching Safety. Ask your child to share how they can help manage their own space and safety. Here are some additional tips:
- Help your child learn your full name, address, and phone number
- Designate "safe people and houses" in your neighborhood
- Create a safety password for your child to ask strangers who claim you have sent them to care for your child
- Discuss and practice situations when it is ok for your child to say "No" to strangers who are making your child feel uncomfortable
- Track what your child wears daily"
