Child Safety Book
by admin on Jul.10, 2009, under Family
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 2,000 children are reported missing every day and, thankfully, the vast majority of them are recovered quickly. For more than two decades, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has been on the frontline of helping to keep our children safer in Child Safety Book.
NCMEC’s partnership with Duracell, through the Power of Parents program, is dedicated to providing parents and guardians with the practical knowledge necessary to help protect their children. The program provides information about the most common safety myths and reminds families of the importance of regularly reinforcing the conversations they have with their children regarding their safety.
As a child grows, age and social development create new experiences that they need help to fully understand. Whether it is walking home from school for the first time, going to the park with friends, or using the Internet, a child’s ability to understand safety skills is constantly evolving and their parents’ and guardians’ approach to teaching those skills should change with them.
Understanding that parents and guardians need to be the first line of defense for safety education, Duracell and NCMEC have created the Child Safety Handbook based on NCMEC’s nearly 25 years of experience and expertise. This handbook can be part of a family’s complete safety program and will help parents and guardians understand basic safety tips that will help their children stay safer at each stage of their lives. The handbook also provides a sampling of some of the most current and available technologies that parents and guardians can use to help safeguard their children.
