How to teach your child what to do if they get lost
The thought of getting lost is scary. Most kids have been told to not talk to strangers and probably would not have any idea what to do if they were lost or separated from their family. In this blog we are going to talk about how to talk with your child about what to do if they get lost. It will probably never happen, but it is good to have a plan just in case.
If you are lost or need help for some reason, should you wait for somebody to come up to you to see if you need help? (Get Feedback)
Or should you ask someone for help? (Get Feedback)
You should definitely ask someone for help. The question is, who? Let’s assume there are lots of grownups around, but you don’t know any of them, and there are no policemen to be seen. Who should you ask? (Get Feedback)
1. The First choice would be a mom with a child
2. The second choice should be someone that looks like a grandma
3. The third choice would be someone in uniform (mailman, ups driver, etc.)
4. The fourth choice would be a person working
Why do you think someone that looks like a grandma or a mom with kids is our first choice? Because they have what is called “Maternal Intuition” which means moms and grandmas usually care lots about kids and would want to help.
A person in a uniform or a person who is working are good choices because they are probably pretty responsible and will most likely be willing to help.
If you are lost or need help, never go with someone who approaches you, especially if they make you feel scared or afraid.
Let’s review again who you would ask for help:
1. A mom with Kids.
2. Someone that looks like a grandma
3. A person in uniform (mailman, UPS driver, etc.)
4. A person working.
