To make your home a safe environment, you must think ahead about what you can do.
Children have different needs at different ages.
And remember, your children will bring friends home that may not operate under the same set of rules as your family. Here are some things to think about within your own home. It is always important to talk with your children about what to do in case of any emergency, whether it is a fire or whether something happens to them while you are gone or whether something happens to you. Have those emergency numbers handy. Little details that may seem simple to you, like talking slowly and clearly into the telephone, need to be discussed.
