Help me remember how to use these things as we put them away. Tucking a small family photo into the KIDS KIT will provide an extra touch of comfort for your child. Have the KIDS KIT packed and available and ready to go when you begin your outdoor adventure. Dress your child in bright colors. Perhaps have them wear a brightly colored hat.
Visibility is a key element.
Teach your child to always look around them when they are hiking or taking part in activities in the outdoors. Have them note landmarks or unusual areas. Have them look backwards from time to time to note how the trail will look upon their return. Have them practice re-tracing their steps from time to time. In the event your child does get separated, make sure they know it is all right to be worried and afraid, but that you will find them as soon as possible.
