- With older children, have a plan of action in case you become separated
When children participate in activities, through school or extracurricular, know the group leaders and other parents
- Familiarize yourself with everyone who is involved and exchange contact information
- Participate in events if possible
If your children are ever home alone for an extended period of time have set-up check-in times
- Have them call when they get home from school, and again sporadically for the period of time they are alone
- Make sure they know never to tell anyone who calls they are alone
- Make sure they know not to let anyone in the house without an approved adult present
