At Home Personal Safety
Below are concepts that students learn regarding their personal safety:
Car safety: Always wear your seat belt or sit in a booster seat
Bicycle safety: Always wear a helmet when you are bike riding, skate boarding, skiing, roller blading, etc...
Phone Safety: Never tell someone on the phone you are home alone. If someone asks to talk to a parent or guardian students learn to say, "They can't get to the phone right now, please call back." Never give out any personal information.
Gun Safety: Never play with a gun, guns are not toys. If you find a gun do not touch it, leave the area, and tell an adult.
The 'Always Ask First Rule': Always ask the person in charge first if you want to go somewhere with someone or if someone wants to give you something.
The Touching Rule: No one should touch your private body parts except to keep you clean and healthy. Your private body parts are those parts covered by your bathing suit.
Different Types of Touches:
Safe: when it feels good and makes you feel loved
Unsafe: when someone touches your private body parts or hurts your body so bad that it leaves a bruise or mark
Unwanted: any touch you do not like
Reporting unsafe touches: Kids should tell an adult that they know and trust. If that person does not help them then they should tell another adult.
Responding assertively: Standing up tall, looking someone in the eyes, and saying no in a firm voice
The Safety Steps: used with unsafe touches and bullies
- Say words that mean 'no'
- Get away
- Tell an adult
