Keep Your Children Safe

School has started in most communities throughout the U.S. In the flurry of activity, it’s ‎important to remember these safety tips from Safe Kids ‎Worldwide™: ‎

  • Walk with your kids to the bus stop and wait with them until it arrives. Tell kids to ‎stand at least three giant steps back from the curb as the bus approaches and board ‎the bus one at a time.‎
  • Teach kids to wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before getting off and ‎never to walk behind the bus.‎
  • If your child needs to cross the street after exiting the bus, he or she should take ‎five giant steps in front of the bus, make eye contact with the bus driver and cross ‎when the driver indicates it’s safe. Teach kids to look left, right, and left again ‎before crossing the street.‎
  • Instruct younger kids to use handrails when boarding or exiting the bus. Be careful ‎of straps or drawstrings that could get caught in the door. If your children drop ‎something, they should tell the bus driver and make sure the bus driver is able to ‎see them before they pick it up.‎
  • Drivers should always follow the speed limit and slow down in school zones and ‎near bus stops. Remember to stay alert and look for kids who may be trying to get ‎to or from the school bus. ‎
  • Slow down and stop if you’re driving near a school bus that’s flashing yellow or red ‎lights. This means the bus is either preparing to stop (yellow) or already stopped ‎‎(red), and children are getting on or off.‎
