JUNTA DE COMUNIDAD HISPANA SABIA USTED?

Mantenga a sus hijos seguros en los parques este verano El clima en el exterior está bello y uno de los mejores lugares para jugar es el parque. Sin embargo, los padres de familia deben comenzar toda visita al parque con una plática con sus hijos sobre un plan de seguridad. Los niños deben saber qué hacer si un extraño se les acerca, y a quien ir si ellos se sienten incómodos o amenazados. Los parques públicos son un gran lugar para jugar, pero están expuestos al público. Contar con un plan de seguridad puede ayudar a los padres de familia y a los niños a sentirse seguros y a jugar seguros este verano.

CHILD PROTECTION COURSE: PLEASE

CATION

NOTE THAT ALL MINISTRY MEMBERS MUST COMPLETE THE CHILD PROTECTION CERTIFICOURSE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING THE YOUTH OF THE PARISH.

The weather outside is beautiful, and one of the best places to play is the park. However, parents should start every visit to the park with a discussion with their kids about safety plan. Kids should know what to do if a stranger were to approach them, and who to go to if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. Public parks are a great place to play, but they are exposed to the public. Having a safety plan in place can help parents and kids feel secure and play safely this summer. For a copy of the TODAY.com article, email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227.
