Don’t Let Your Kids Get Lost Without……….

I was listening to the Manic Mommies podcast today and they were talking to a women about what to do to prevent children from getting lost and what to do if you do lose your child and I picked up some very handy hints. Some are things I already new but there were a few things that I had never thought of.

Don’t let your kids get lost without………

• Giving them your mobile phone number – We all teach our children our addresses and home phone numbers, but if a child gets lost the handiest thing for them to know is Mummy or Daddies mobile phone number. A good idea is to use a clothing label with your mobile phone number on it. Make sure that your children know where the labels are placed on their clothes.

• Dress your kids in bright colours – Bright clothes are much easier to spot in a crowd.

• Teach your children to ask another Mummy for help if they are lost – Think about who you would want your children to approach if they get lost. I know that I would feel better about my children approaching another mum. We have always taught our children to find a policeman if they get lost, but think about the last time you were at a park or shopping centre, how many policemen or women did you see?. Not many I bet!.
