2. The most effective way to protect your family is to stay informed & educated.
If you don’t know what to do in an emergency or how to prevent a potentially dangerous
situation, you can’t prevent it.
I know I personally have not had to deal with a severe allergic reaction, but after this event and a visit to the Southern California Food Allergy Institute I will know how to recognize and treat allergic reaction symptoms.
Family Safety Day actually began because one mom took it upon herself to learn CPR, turning a sure to be tragic situation into an inspiring one. Don’t let a tragic situation be the reason you learn something that could potentially save your child’s life. At the event you can visit the Plunge table for water safety and CPR Demos and more information on CPR classes and where to sign up head to the American Red Cross table!
California is home to eight species of rattlesnakes, which may be spotted anywhere from off-road dirt trails to your own backyards and front porches. Rattle Snake & Reptile Safety Tips from Ecovivarium, a nonprofit mobile education service featuring rescued and donated reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods. They are bringing their mobile reptile zoo with 16-18 different reptiles and snakes!
3. Make sure you know what resources, tools, or physical products are available to you, in case you need them.
Family Safety Day Free Safety Products: Each year, 800,000 kids go missing in the United States, which is one every 40 seconds. Children’s Primary Care Medical Group, is donating one National Child I.D. Program Inkless Fingerprint I.D. Kit per family to our event! Families will also receive (1) Emergency Survival Whistle Key Chain from San Diego Moms.
4. Prevention always starts at home!
The goal of this event is to share safety tips and resources in a safe and fun environment. You can teach children to be safe without scaring them – You just need to know how.
Young people are at risk of assault, abduction, and abuse even in caring families, schools, and communities. Skills and knowledge are the keys to keeping kids safe. The good news is that there are simple and effective ways of teaching children how to protect themselves that will work most of the time.*
Stronghold Family Self-Defense will have ongoing Self-Defense Demos where they will be teaching how to break wrist grips and how to escape holds. These techniques are simple enough for a 3-year-old to try!
5. When it comes to raising a child, it takes a village!
Find families in your community who care not only about the safety of their families, but also about the safety of their communities. You may meet a neighbor you didn’t know existed or find a friend you can count on in an emergency.
The phrase “it takes a village” reflects the proven influence outside individuals and groups have on children.
