Does your child know this?
1. I know when and how to call for help, I know the numbers of the ambulance (194), firefighters (193), the police (192).
2. I talk to my parents about things that have happened to me that scare me and that make me feel uncomfortable or sad.
3. I know the difference between a "good" and a "bad" secret. The good secret is fun and makes us happy like a surprise for a birthday. A bad secret is uncomfortable to keep and disturbs us. Such a secret should be entrusted to parents or other adults in whom we trust, and this does not make us "traitors".
4. I know that a stranger is anyone I do not know very well. Although I recognize these people (the salesman in the market, the postman...), they are all strangers.
5. A stranger can be a person who is kind to me and knows my name, but I never go anywhere with him without my parents present. I never tell strangers my full name, where I live or other personal information.
6. I avoid playing completely alone outside the home or in public places.
7. When I walk close to the road, I always go to the side where I can see the cars coming to meet me. I'm careful when I see a car pull up near me. I never take the short way if it's lonely or deserted places.
8. I know that I must not stop next to strangers in unfamiliar cars even though a stranger in the car may seem like a kind person. If I have to run, I run in the opposite direction from the one that an unknown car comes from.
9. If I am in danger, I know that it is better for me to shout and run, than to try to hide. If a stranger approaches me with strange or bad intentions, I will shout "help," run towards other adults and tell them what's going on.
10. If I find myself in trouble it's okay to scream and fight – I should try to do everything! Yelling is the most important thing, I need to shout; "NO", "HELP" or "FIRE" – to attract the attention of other people.
11. I know that when I am alone at home, I should close the windows and lock the door. If I go home (and I know my parents aren't there) and find an unlocked door or a broken window, I'll go to a person I know well, or I'll go back to school and let the adults know what happened.
12. If I am scared when I am alone at home, I know how to call my parents or other people I trust.
13. If I hear the doorbell when I am alone at home, I know that I should first ask "Who is it?". I never say I'm home alone and I never open the door if I'm home alone unless my parents tell me someone's coming.
