Description:
When it comes to personal safety, children need to know who to go to for help. Whether it’s a parent, teacher, neighbor, or adult family friend, identifying who is a safe person to go to in a time of need is important and can help kids feel confident in uncertain situations.
Students will be able to identify the people in their lives they can go to for help.
