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

1. Make sure your children know their physical boundaries, such as staying within a certain distance from the swings and other equipment.
2. Have an adult stay with your child at all times when they are in the playground area.
3. Encourage your child to tell you if something doesn’t feel right or if someone makes them feel uncomfortable.
4. Remind your children to keep their personal items close by, like their phone and wallet.
5. Monitor the playground closely and intervene quickly if you see anything that looks unsafe.
6. Talk to your child about stranger danger and how to respond if someone approaches them.
7. Teach your child basic self-defense techniques, such as saying “no” firmly and backing away from any situation that feels unsafe.
