What are the best ways to make sure my kids are safe while they are on the playground?

1. Make sure your children know the rules of the playground and that you will be nearby if they need help or guidance.
2. Ensure that all playground equipment is properly maintained and free from hazards, such as broken parts or loose screws.
3. Set up a designated “safety zone” at least 10 feet away from any playground equipment for younger children.
4. Talk with your children about stranger danger and how to stay safe around unfamiliar adults.
5. Encourage them to tell an adult if they feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way.
6. Remind them to always walk facing traffic and never cross the street without an adult’s permission.
7. Teach them basic first aid and CPR if needed.
8. Have a phone number where they can reach you quickly if needed.
