Your car should look boring and like there is nothing of value inside. Be careful not to hit another person's vehicle with your door as you exit your vehicle. You can make this much easier by leaving enough space in between you and the cars next to you. Make sure that all doors and the trunk are locked after you leave. This will protect your car. If your car has a security system, be sure to activate it. It will sound if anyone attempts to break in. Accompany them by either carrying them, pushing a stroller or holding their hand as you leave the car. They will need help safely navigating the parking lot. To pull out of the parking spot, you may need to reverse your car. Be sure to reverse your car very slowly and only after checking your mirrors and your blindspot. To reverse, turn your head around and look behind you while maneuvering your vehicle. Wait to begin turning your car out of the space until the front of your car is out of the spot so that you don't hit the car to your side. Driving in reverse is when many accidents occur and when you are most likely to hit a pedestrian. When reversing, you do not have the right of way! Let other cars and pedestrians move first. Use your turn signal to show which way you will be pulling out. Signal for at least 3 seconds.

SUMMARY: Remove valuables from your car. Open your vehicle's doors carefully. Lock your car securely. Supervise young children as they exit the vehicle. Reverse your car carefully.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you live in a house with other people aside from your partner, you probably want to take precautions to avoid awkward moments. Make sure the kids are tucked in and ready to sleep before you perform your own nightly routine and get undressed. This limits the prospect of a sleepy kid barging in on you while you're naked. If you're particularly worried, don't get undressed until the moment before you hop into bed. Brush your teeth and turn off the light while you're still clothed. Don't forget to keep a robe right next your bed, just in case. You may be in a position to lock or lightly bar the door so no one can walk right in. If you're living in a house with other adults, you might want to get a lock installed so you'll feel more comfortable being naked in your bedroom. If you have little kids and locking the door isn't feasible, try placing a thick towel under the door or putting a chair in front of it. That way you'll get at least a few moments' warning before your child makes his or her way in. That way you'll be up and clothed before the kids come knocking at your door. If you need more sleep, but you know other people in the house will be waking soon, you can put on a nightshirt and get back into bed to spend the last few moments of your morning sleeping clothed. You may want to have a conversation with your kids to tell them that your bedroom is your private space between certain hours. Have them get into the habit of knocking and waiting for your reply before they come inside. That will give you time to put on your robe before they see you naked. There will probably be times when your kids do manage to see your bare shoulders peeking out from the covers, and that's OK. It's perfectly normal to sleep naked, and the fact that you do is not something you need to hide from your children. Letting them know that you and your partner sleep naked, and that everyone deserves privacy before they put their clothes on, is a fine way to handle the situation and hopefully prevent awkward barge-ins.

SUMMARY:
Take care of everything before going to bed. Bar the door if you feel it's safe. Set your alarm to rise early. Talk to your kids about privacy.
