Quick Tip

Start regular, open-ended conversations with your children about their day, feelings, and any concerns they might have. This builds trust and makes it easier for them to come to you with serious issues. Remember, it's not just about talking but also listening deeply to what they're saying—and sometimes, what they're not.

Activity

Gather your family for an important discussion on safety—both inside and outside the home. Use this time to talk about who to contact in emergencies, safe places in your community, and online safety measures. Make it engaging by allowing each member to suggest one safety rule, and together, create a colorful safety plan poster to hang in your home.
