5 Tips for a Safe Summer
With children out of school for the Summer and many parents working full time, children are being left home alone or with others to look after them. These 5 tips may help ensure your children have a safe and danger-free Summer break.
Home Security Systems
The most popular choice when needing to check in on your children during the day. It allows you to see who is coming in or going out of the house and text message alerts may be sent every time the door opens. You can also open doors from your smartphone if your child locks themselves outside. A remote lock is also an option if they forget to lock the doors. Companies like Miami ADT home security offer free quotes online and have a same day service guaruntee. Any alarm triggered sends a message to ADT Miami for immediate police response.
Practice Water Safety
The water can be a fun, yet dangerous place for unsupervised children. Make sure you or a caregiver are monitoring children in the water at all times to prevent injury or drowning.
Fire/Chemical Safety
Ensure that all matches, lighters, prescription medications and cleaning chemicals are out of reach and locked away.
Emergency Contacts
Be sure emergency contact numbers to police and fire department are readily available in case your child needs help.
Discuss Social Media Safety
Talk to your children about social media behaviors. Do not post about being on vacation or being home alone. It may be an invitation for burglars to try and enter the home.
