Some of the things I tell others:
Put your cell phone numbers in your child’s shoes, so they always have it. Also their coats/jackets and knapsacks. If they are lost or someone tries to get to them, they can always ask to borrow someone’s phone and call a parent. Its not enough that they know their home number by heart.
Let your kids know not to go anywhere without telling you, even if it is with someone they know. Mommy always need to know where they are.
Never, ever, ever keep secrets from Mommy. Especially when someone tells you to. That is when you especially need to tell Mommy. Mommy will never be angry at you that you tell her someone’s secret.
Mommy has lots of candy and mommy’s candy is always good and never dangerous. Don’t ever take candy from anyone even if they are Jewish. Some people are very mean even if they look nice and they can put dangerous things in the candy or they might want you to do something in exchange for the candy. So if anyone offers you candy run home and tell mommy.
If anyone asks you for help run home and tell Mommy. Adults don’t need help from children they can get help from other adults.
If anyone tells you that Mommy sent them to pick you up, If you don’t know them scream and yell and run away. If you do know them tell them to give you their cell phone so you can call mommy or tatty and double check.
Teach your children not to sit on people’s laps including Rebbeim. After preschool when there are no longer 3 morahs in the class there is no need for such close contact and no one to supervise that there is nothing inappropriate going on. Tell the children that they are now big boys and they are to say “My Mommy doesn’t let”. No hugging either just hand shakes.
