Extractions: Safety Skills for Children While most kids pass through childhood without ever experiencing physical harm, some are frightened or hurt by crime. As a parent, one of your responsibilities is to teach your children how to protect themselves and respond to threatening situations. And, you should always take the time to listen carefully to your children's fears and feelings about people or places that scare them or make them feel uncomfortable. First, cover the basics: Rehearse with children their full name, address, and phone number (including area code) and how to make emergency phone calls from home and public phones. Walk the neighborhood with your children. Show them safe places they can go to in an emergency, like a neighbor's house, a block parent or McGruff House, or an open store. Tell children never to accept gifts or rides from someone they don't know well.

Extractions: Children in kindergarten through third grade are learning to become independent. They enjoy walking, riding bikes, and playing outside. They don't have the judgment to cope with traffic by themselves yet, but they can begin to understand safety rules. What parents need to know: the bottom line Parents often think their children are able to handle traffic safely by themselves before they actually are ready. Children don't have the skills to handle these risky situations until at least age ten. Boys are much more likely than girls to be injured or killed in traffic. Bicycles are vehicles. Children should not ride bikes in the road until they fully understand traffic rules and show they can follow them. Young children are NOT small adults!

Extractions: by Lisa Carter and Lori Marques Advertisement With the winter season upon us and the possibility of power loss due to storms or the Year 2000, it's important to be careful on how we light our homes. Candles and oil lamp flames are attractive to children of all ages and can cause burns or lead to house fires. In addition, the oil in the lamps is a danger even when not lit. "The clear fluid looks like water and every year Children's Hospital sees children that mistakenly drink the oil, which damages their lungs," said Dr. Mark Del Beccaro, Emergency Department. "If the oil is aspirated in a significant quantity, it can cause respiratory distress and require hospitalization." So please store the lamps and the oil out of reach of young children. Some children may also become anxious about the Year 2000 or other issues. As parents, there are some strategies you can teach your children to help them manage their stress. Communication is the key:

Extractions: MERRIMACK POLICE DEPARTMENT Merrimack, New Hampshire Children and the Internet The Internet can be a scary place, especially for parents who are concerned about who their children may be communicating with over the Internet. As with all tools, a computer that is online must be used with adult supervision. The Merrimack Police Department wants to make all parents aware of possible child exploitation over the Internet. The Internet has become the fastest growing medium through which people communicate. Coupled with the availability of "on-line" services such as America On Line CompuServe or Prodigy (to name a few) and the myriad of Internet service providers, access to information - and people - has become easier and quicker than ever. Children are more susceptible to exploitation, because they find the Internet and all that exists on line a fascinating place to explore and discover. They further can be lulled into thinking that because they are more or less removed from the personal contact most commonly associated with "child exploitation", that they are free from being taken advantage of. Pedophiles , those people that have a sexual preference for children, now have the unique opportunity to literally contact your child while he or she uses the computer on line. The experienced pedophile will subtly lure children into trusting them, and then begin a campaign of desensitizing involving the sending of explicit messages and pictures over the Internet.

Extractions: while they are having fun! Children learn while playing. Piecing a puzzle together or creating a simple art project gives them a sense of achievement. Stacking basic blocks or interlocking specialty building toys spark the imagination and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills all the while they are having fun. Video games and many electronic toys are temporary entertainment and not very useful instruments to your child's imagination. Teach your child to play chess, checkers or even connect-4 or monopoly. Anyone of these will aid in learning to learn. Strategies, anticipation, planning, counting, rules, fair play, interactivity and it's actually fun!
