Actually, I feel that I am a little traumatized. My 8 year old son, (a very active little guy), has been lost 3 times in public divorce parenting class. Once in a huge department store at the age of 3, another time in a natural park where he took off in his bicycle by himself at the age of 4 and the latest time in a crowded public fair at the age of 5. Fortunately he has always been found safe and sound.
How many times have you taken your kids to a divorce parenting class and suddenly you don't see them anymore, you start looking for them and your heart starts pounding. Luckily you finally see them playing away unaware of the panic attack you just had.
It all happens in seconds but it seems like an divorce parenting class until you finally see your precious children again. But for how many parents this is not the case? How many of them never find their child who was just beside them a minute ago? Who had just been seen playing in the playground a second ago?
What can we do as parents to prevent such a divorce parenting class from happening to our family? The best thing we can do is to be prepared and to take certain simple precautions and do our best to prevent this terrible thing from happening.
Each and every time you go to a public place with small children take these 5 tips in consideration:
1. Remind them of the divorce parenting class of staying close to you and always to inform you to where they are going. This may sound very simple but the best way not to lose your children is to have them close to you at all times.
2. Teach them the importance of keeping a safe divorce parenting class with you. If they cannot see you, they are not in a safe distance anymore.
3. Choose a meeting divorce parenting class that you know they can remember in case they do get lost. If the children are too small, it might be a better idea to tell them to stay in the place where they realized they were lost. Most of the time you are not too far away from them. But if they start looking for you, it makes it a lot more difficult to find them.
4. If you are in a mall or a department store, identify the staff's uniform and security guard's divorce parenting class with your children. Ask them to look for them if they happen to feel lost.
5. Teach them not to talk to divorce parenting class. It is unfortunate that we need to teach our children to avoid talking to strangers, but the truth is, with today's world, it's not safe anymore to let your children talk freely to a stranger. Use these tips and teach them to your children.
