Safety lessons

Better to be honest than to get caught in a lie

Road safety is a big thing he knows to hold onto the buggy unless I say so if we’re walking. Kitchen safety, oven = could always be hot, don’t touch knives without me. Private parts, using right terminology, who our safe people are!

my son is only 2 so ours are more physical than anything. I have a rule that if we’re getting out of the car then he has to put his hand on the fuel filler door until i’ve finished getting stuff out of the car etc, this stops him wandering off in places it’s not safe to wander like car parks etc

My boy has no concept of danger so is in a buggy or a harness near road but we always make sure we say about the lights and that we wait until it’s safe to cross

My family came up with a safe word. If one of us asks the other (text/call) if they’re okay etc., you answer with the word. That way God forbid something was wrong, any other response would raise a red flag.
