The children are home for the long holiday and this is usually the period where safety incidents spike. Here are a few tips to help you protect them:
1) Educate the child
Teach them how to stay safe in different situations from play to falls to preventing molestation and abduction

2) Ask about their day
Talking through occurrences in their day can help you find out possible problem areas and teach them how to act

3) Be alert
Try not to get too preoccupied when they are playing at home. If you get busy, appoint someone to take charge. Being alert helps you stop “rough play” that could lead to injury. This also works when you’re travelling with them to avoid things like the recent incident of a child found in the luggage carousel at the airport

4) Ask for help
Simply because you cannot do it all by yourself and there will be times you get distracted. You do not want something to go wrong just because you turned away for a few seconds

5) Keep them engaged
Get them involved in meaningful activities and projects, it reduces idle time available for “rough play”
