Safety Rules For Children

Safety Rules for Children

The basics

Creating an awareness of crime prevention should start at an early age. The following safety rules are designed to teach young children basic safety and security.

1. I will learn my name and surname, telephone number and address
2. I will make up a special code word for my family. I will not just go off with anyone who says my Mom or Dad wants me to. People must use our family code word first, and then I will know that my parents know and trust them.
3. I will tell my parents or my teacher if anyone tries to hold me or touch me in a way that does not feel right to me.
4. I will not keep something a secret from my parents if someone tells me to do so.
5. I will remember that I have my rights too. I can say ‘NO’ if someone, I don’t know wants to give me a present, or wants me to go for a ride in a strange car.
6. I will never walk up to a stranger’s car. I don’t have to answer questions or give directions to anyone.
7. I will not tell strangers on the phone if I am alone at home.
8. I will not allow strangers into my home if I am alone, even if they say there has been an accident and they want to use the phone. I will tell them to go to the neighbors or to the police station.
9. I will remember if I get lost when I am out shopping, I must go to the cashier or manager and ask for help. I will not go out to the parking lot on my own to look for my Mom or Dad’s car.
10. I will not play in lonely, deserted areas, even if I am with a friend.
11. I will never go anywhere with anyone – even with a friend or neighbor – unless Mom or Dad says it is okay.

Mothusi Projects

Ons bied mini-werkswinkels aan om jongmense te help om krisisweerbaar te wees in tye van krisis en trauma

————————-

Ons is elke jaar geskok deur die aantal jongmense wie suksesvol selfmoord pleeg, betrokke raak by dwelms, misdaad en “verkeerde” maats.

Die doel ons Mothusi-projekte is om jongmense en hul ouers te help om te verstaan wat ‘n krisis is en om die algemene tekens van ‘n persoon wat deur ‘n traumatise tyd gaan te kan identifiseer.

We present mini-workshops to coach young people to be better equipped to handle crisis and trauma.

—————————

 The number of young people who attempt and commit suicide, get involved with drugs, crime and “wrong” friends stuns us every year.

 The aims are to assist them to understand the concept of a crisis, to recognise the general profile of a person going through a traumatic time and how to make a difference.
