You know how tough it is to hold onto your child’s hand when you enter crowded areas like fairs or amusement parks. No parent would want their kid to get lost among such a huge crowd and be alone. But you always have to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. So, if your little one drifts away from your grasp and you have no choice but to inform the authorities or ask people around, always remember to take their picture before entering the place. This trick will not only save you from describing your child to others, but it will ease the process of spotting them quickly as you’ll have the latest picture of your child in the same outfit.

Mishaps can happen anytime, and one of them is your kid getting out of sight in a crowd. Although you have their latest picture with you, that’ll surely help you track them down. Until then, the kid must also be aware of what actions they should take. Of course, strangers are never to be trusted, but in such cases, your kid might not be able to find the proper authority person or someone they can trust. Well, you can train your kid to approach a person with a stroller in these scenarios because new moms or dads tend to be more dependable and assertive toward other kids. So they’ll indeed look after your kids more responsibly.

Imagine you got your kid a new bicycle, and now they are trying every possible stunt like stoppies, wheelies, or drifts with their bike to flaunt in front of their friends. But it is also possible that they’ll fall victim to road accidents. So, although you’ll make them wear helmets or kneecaps, they’ll still not like them because they want to show their bravery by going rough in front of their friends. So, to avoid such circumstances, you can complement these accessories to encourage your kids to wear them no matter the situation. Tell them how awesome you think it is when you find them wearing a helmet. They will be inspired to keep following common sense safety precautions in the future by the praise from an adult.

You know how kids can get when they want to know what’s inside a cupboard or drawer. But little do they know that their curiosity can end in a tragic situation if they unintentionally lock themselves inside or something falls on their head. And cases like these are never easy for parents or their young ones.  Well, for every complicated situation, there’s always a simple solution. Hair ties, the one you put on your hair to keep them in place, also works effectively in maintaining the drawers intact. All you have to do is wrap it and squeeze it as tightly as possible around the knob. Then, your child won’t be able to open anything in the room.

Kids want to be in their space without anyone bothering them about what to do and how to do it. Especially when it comes to playing outside in the park, parents always want their children to be in their sight. If you tell your kid to stay in your line of sight, they will feel restricted and most likely act the other way. Telling them to stay where they can see you is much more effective than anything else. They will consider staying in your line of sight in this manner as a decision rather than an order. It will give them the impression that they are in charge of the situation.

6. Focus On Solution, Not The Cause

If you keep your kid telling them what NOT to do to trigger panic situations, they’ll never find themselves confident enough to tackle it. Having a fire safety conversation with your child can reduce their probability of starting one. However, fire safety won’t be much use if kids find themselves in the middle of one. So focus on telling them how to get out of the situation without hurting themselves.

Parenthood is filled with joyous and tragic moments. To be best prepared for the latter, you must be completely aware. Hopefully, these simple yet effective tricks will help you and your kid survive unwanted incidents effectively and keep them safe. If you have more tips, let us know in the comment section below.
