HOW CAN OUR KIDS STAY SAFE AT SCHOOL?

Hello Coffee lovers, I hope you have something strong to drink because lately it's been really hard seeing the news. That's why I don't want to talk about what happened but more like what steps we can take to prevent things like this and make our children feel safe as well as parents. Where are some things that may help, not sure it will 100% but you never know. This list is for what the adults can do to help the children be safe in such a moment, something like what happened to those poor children who lost their lives. I feel not only parents but the staff should have rules. Will some do have rules on if there is such a moment like what happens to those poor souls. What can staff do to make sure the kids are safe in a crisis. Lockdown: Used when there is a perceived danger inside the building. A lockdown includes securing each occupied room by locking the door(s) and directing people to move away from windows and doors. Hallways are cleared of students and school staff. Typically, local law enforcement arrives to secure the site and arrange for evacuation or return to usual building activities. Students are kept in their classrooms or other secured areas in the school until the lockdown has ended. Relocation: Used to move students and staff to a pre-designated alternate site following evacuation when it is determined that returning to the school building will not take place within a reasonable period of time. Depending on the time of day and the circumstances, students may be released early or school activities may be changed or put on hold until they are able to return to the school building. Plans should also be in place for students and staff with limited mobility who may need assistance moving to the relocation site. Evacuation: Used to move students and staff out of the building. With a simple evacuation, students and staff leave and move to a nearby pre-designated safe location and return to the school building right after the cause of evacuation is resolved. Schools practice evacuations regularly (often monthly) during fire drills.

What can parents do to make sure their kids feel safe? A)Maintain structure and routine: Children normally strive better with routines because it means they know what is next in their daily steps. Knowing everything stays the same gives a comfort to the children because it is the norm for them. B) Remind them of all the people looking out for them and protecting them: The children need to know they are protected.if they hear it then feel it and that's what keeps them feeling safe. If you feel as though you're not safe they might feel it too. Say it to your children and you know you and them are not alone. C)Help them realize how strong and capable they are: Showing them what you would do or telling them what you would do to protect them will really boost their confidence in you and help them feel safe. LIke for example a parent despite what the cops said went in that school and got their two kids out safely. Was it a smart thing no but i will give respect to them because they have their children home no matter what that parent was confronted with. And that shows thief children I got you no matter what. That's what your children need to feel. D) keep an eye of children from school: Call school from time to time just to do check ups.But only if you feel as though something is wrong.Also maybe a tracker from the. They have new stuff like bracelets and ext to keep an eye on them .Making sure they are in school and where they are located at all times. If they are older than 10 I suggest you get kids a phone just in case but let them know it's not to play with at school just in case of emergencies. C) Make sure we talk about what going on in school: Sometimes we are so busy that we forget to take time to talk to our children. Take 15 minutes to ask how their days are. If anything happened that day that was interesting and maybe you'll find out more than you knew before. Life is hard as it is and trying to keep our children safe will be harder than ever these days. Love your children to the fullest and protect them as much as you can and assure them no matter you got them. Also for those who lost their lives because they weren’t protected enough i see you and and i hope you r.i.p. Until next time talk to you Lattee. #children #keepourchildrensafe #parents #texas #helpthem #coffeelovers #blogs #post #lattee #talkaboutit
