Safety First

We know that what our children don’t know can hurt them. Have you set any boundaries that would keep them safe?

• Helicopter watching over every move and preventing potential mishaps
• Drone keeping an eye out for any mishaps

Teach By Example

Be honest and evaluate how you act with and speak to others (including family).
