Child / Parent Checklist

I know my full name and my parent’s full name (first, middle and last).

I know my whole address including city, state and zip code.

I know my phone number including area code.

I know how to dial “911” and “0” for emergencies.  I know that I can use any phone to call     “911” and “0” without using any money.

I know to always let my parents or childcare person know where I am going.

I know to always play and walk in groups, I always practice the “BUDDY SYSTEM”.

I know to walk towards traffic so that I can see if a car stops near me.

I know never to take short cuts because they can be dangerous.

If someone I know, a friend or a neighbor, asks me to come into his/her house or go somewhere with him or her, I know to ask my mom/dad first.

I know never to talk to anyone that approaches me in a car. I know to run in the opposite direction.

If a stranger is following me, instead of hiding in bushes or behind a building, I know to go to a place where there are people and ask for help.

I know to never accept candy, food, money, or anything from a stranger.

I know that a stranger is anyone (man or woman) who is not known by me.

I know never to help a stranger with directions, fix their car, or find their lost pet.

When I am home alone, I know never to answer the door or the phone unless I know who it is.
I know to keep all doors and windows locked when I am home alone.

If I arrive home and see that any window or door is open or broken, I should not go in. I know to go to a trusted neighbor.

I know that there is always a list of emergency numbers by the telephone to call if I’m home alone and get scared.

I know the difference between a “good touch” and a “bad touch” and that certain parts of my body are very private.  I know to tell mom, dad or a trusted adult about any “bad touches”.

I know I have the right to say “NO” and to get help.

I know that if an adult tells me to keep a secret that makes me feel uncomfortable, I should tell someone that I trust.

I know if I get lost in a store or shopping mall, I will go to a cashier or security person.

I know my 4 rules if I find myself in a dangerous situation:
SAY NO!   YELL & SCREAM!     RUN!     TELL SOMEONE!

I don’t keep secrets from my parents. I will always tell my parents the truth.

My parents love me; they will listen and help me if I feel troubled.
