Knowing My 8 Rules for Safety
1. I always check first with my parents or the person in charge before I go anywhere or get into a car, even with someone I know.
2. I always check first with my parents or a trusted adult before I accept anything from anyone, even from someone I know.
3. I always take a friend with me when I go places or play outside.
4. I know my name, address, telephone number, and my parents' names.
5. I say no if someone tries to touch me or treat me in a way that makes me feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
6. I know that I can tell my parents or a trusted adult if I feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
7. It's OK to say no, and I know that there will always be someone who can help me.
8. I am strong, smart and have the right to be safe.
Check first + take a friend + tell someone I trust if something is wrong + stay strong, smart, and safe
