Family Safety
Being a parent is a responsibility that doesn’t compare to any other responsibility in the world. Once you become a parent, you make sure your child has everything they need and are safe. Keep these tips in mind to keep your family safe.
1.Don’t Open the Door
Teaching your children not to open the door for anyone, even if they are friends or relatives, is a good way to add an extra layer of security to your home. An adult in the home should always answer the door, especially at night.
2. The Important Info
Your child should know important information, such as their home phone number, parent’s cell phone number and work number, parent’s full names, and the home address. This information is the most important and useful if your child gets lost.
3. Calling for Help
Some phone numbers are easier to remember than others. For this reason, you should program important phone numbers in your cell phone and home phone in case of an emergency. Cell phones, including Smartphones and iPhones, can be programmed to store numbers in your phone to a specific number on the dialing keypad. With this feature, your child will be able to hold a number on your cell phone’s dialing keypad and the programmed number will automatically be dialed. This feature is known as speed dial.
4. Create A Family Code

The family code can also be used as a text code. The family code can be a word, numbers or both. This code can be given to relatives and close friends so they can be reached in the event of an emergency.
