Have you ever lost your child at a supermarket, theme park or mall? I haven’t had that experience yet and hopefully never will, but I remember getting lost as a child. It is a scary feeling even if it is just at a small grocery store. Many thoughts are running through both the parent’s and child’s minds. What if they left? What if someone took them? What if they are hurt?
You can eliminate some of the worry with Safety Tats. These are temporary safety tattoos to prevent lost kids and are especially useful when you are planning on going to a crowded place like fairs and amusement parks. They stick on just like temporary tattoos and are customized with your number or available blank for you to write on. They have different themes such as butterflies, dinos and rockets or are available as medical or allergy alerts. The saying I always like to say is “It’s better to be safe than sorry!”
A few prevention tips…
- Teach your child to recite their name, address, and phone number.
- Teach your child to look for a person in uniform.
- Teach your child to go straight to a check out line or store to tell them they are lost.
- Sit down and go through scenarios with your child.
- Wear similar colors when going out to busy places.
