•    Make sure your child knows his/her complete name, address and telephone number with area code. It seems like a lot to remember, but this is one of the most important child safety tips.


•    Show your child how to dial 911. Most cities send the police whether or not a request is made, so let your child know this is for emergencies only and not a game.


•    Establish a code word for situations when the child is to be picked up by someone other than a parent or regular caregiver. Predators have tricked kids into telling their code word so remind you child never to tell anyone.


•    Teach your child if it feels weird it probably is, and regularly remind them they can talk to you about anything.


•    Don’t lose sight of your child in public places, especially when very crowded.


•    Remind your child if they become lost to find a store clerk or police officer and wait with that person until you or the police arrive. They shouldn’t go with someone who offers to take them to their parent unless it is a uniformed officer.
