How to protect your child, when he is alone at home?

This is the information about how to protect your child. The best way to educate the children has always been your own example. If you are attentive to your own safety, the child will repeat the same action. Before opening the door, you need to find out who is behind it, because the child will never fulfill this requirement, if you do not perform it clear. If you want to teach your child the safety rules, first of all, follow them.

Safety for your child in the apartment or house

• It is necessary to write in a prominent place the phone number, on which he can quickly contact you or urgent the care services (your work, mobile, police, ambulance, fire, neighbors).

• Learn with your child his name, name of parents, home address and telephone number.

• Remove any objects, that he could get hurt.

• Check whether you have left opened water, gas and electric heaters.

• Do not leave prominently the drug.

• Leaving in the evening, do not forget to turn on the lights in the rooms, it will scare away the intruders, and your child will not be afraid to stay at home alone.

• If the apartment is on the first floor, it is the best to shuttered the windows, and if someone knocks on the window, it is necessary to teach the child not up to him, shouting loudly, “Daddy! Come here”.

• When you return home, tell your child about it over the telephone or intercom. The child has to open the door only after you call yourself.

• Leaving the house, remove all piercing and cutting items and matches. Store guns and ammunition, if they are in a house on the legal grounds, needed to reach children in the safe code, which only adults need to know.

• Teach your child to handle properly the electrical appliances.

• Explain to the children that no one can ever come to the house on your behalf to request shelter for the night, to give a thing or bag.

• Always you need to repeat manners with your child. Arrange the small exams, disassemble the errors of his behavior.

Try to explain clearly to your child that being at home behind closed doors, he can feel relatively safe, but as soon as he opens it, the distinction between him and the offender is deleted, and he can become easy prey. You need to explain for the children, that he can not open the door, if someone is standing on the landing, he can not leave the door open, leaving an apartment, even expecting to return quickly, it is not desirable to throw out the garbage or retrieve the mail, when behind a child is someone, you can not sit to the elevator with strangers.

Before he will leave the house, a child needs to look in “the eye” and make sure that near the door are any strangers. If a child is left out of the door and saw the strangers, better that he immediately went back to the apartment. If a stranger attacks, it is necessary to shout “Fire” or “We’re burning,” and use all the items, available at your fingertips.

Teach your child to communicate properly on the phone. Often the phone from the protection turns into a “master key” for criminals. The child can not say his name  during a telephone conversation with strangers. A child should never say that he is alone at home. Also, he should not tell the address of the apartment. It is necessary to teach the child that if someone try to involve him in indecent conversation, he should hang up and report it to his parents. Also, it is useful to get a phone with caller ID.
