Children today are growing up in an increasingly complex and potentially dangerous environment, including the digital world.
Protecting, guiding and teaching children’s to be safe and raise their awareness of risk factors is every parent’s responsibility, especially from the first years of life to the transition to adolescence, where biological growth and mental, emotional and social development occurs.
As children become increasingly independent and spend more time with friends, it is essential to have parental communication to share information, ideas and of course, create bonding time.
Undoubtedly, danger and suspicious people will be around children at some point of their life. Therefore, we need to help children to trust their instincts and identify danger situations before it is too late, develop and practice refusal skills and how to react quickly to possible threats.
Teaching children safety & security expand their mindset when responding to danger or risky situations.
