Take 25 - Conversation Starter 1

Does finding 25-minutes to talk to your kids or your busy tweens and teens about safety seem impossible?  Try the follwing discussion starter.  In the month of May - we will be posting 25 safety tips for parents and students of all ages. 

Remember to Take 25 - 25 minutes, 25 days, 25 messages. 

Conversation Starter #1 

Targeted for students that are ages 5- 9

Could you tell me our home addrees?
What is our home phone number?
Where can you reach us (parents / caregivers) when we are not together?  Do you know work numbers and / or cell numbers?
Do you know the name and phone number of a trusted family member or friend also?

Remember to also include 911 in this conversation, and if your child has a cell phone - how they need to hit *911 first. Many children do not know and just dialing 911 on a cellular phone will not work on many phones.
