5 REGLAS DE SEGURIDAD INFANTIL QUE TODO NIÑO DEBE CONOCER

La seguridad no se trata de vivir con miedo, sino de preparar a nuestros hijos para saber cómo reaccionar ante una situación inesperada.

En este video compartimos 5 reglas sencillas que las familias pueden practicar:

📸 1. Foto actual: Mantén una fotografía reciente de tus hijos y actualízala regularmente.

🔐 2. Palabra clave familiar: Acuerden una palabra secreta que permita al niño verificar si una persona realmente fue enviada por su familia.

🚻 3. Seguridad en baños públicos: Establece reglas claras de supervisión y evita que los niños pequeños entren solos.

📢 4. Un grito específico: Enséñales que, ante un intento de llevárselos, pueden gritar claramente: “¡ESA NO ES MI MAMÁ!” o “¡ESE NO ES MI PAPÁ!” para alertar a quienes estén alrededor.

🚪 5. Plan en caso de separación: Al llegar a un lugar público, identifica con tus hijos un punto de encuentro y explícales a quién acudir si se pierden o se separan de ti.

Estas reglas son fáciles de practicar en familia y pueden ayudar a que un niño tenga instrucciones claras cuando más las necesita.

❤️ No se trata de crear miedo. Se trata de practicar respuestas simples antes de necesitarlas.

Child safety does not mean teaching children to live in fear. It means giving them simple, clear, age-appropriate tools they can remember if they become separated from a caregiver or encounter an unexpected situation.

Parents and caregivers can regularly practice basic prevention measures with children. These five rules can provide a starting point for family conversations and a practical safety plan.

1. Keep a recent photo

Having current photographs of your children can be useful during an emergency.

A simple practice is to periodically take a photo that accurately reflects the child's current appearance. Parents can also remain aware of visible changes that could help them provide an accurate description if it is ever needed.

2. Create a family code word

Families can establish a word or phrase known only by the child and authorized adults.

If someone tells a child that their mother, father or caregiver sent them to pick the child up, the child can ask for the family code word before going anywhere with that person.

The rule should be simple: if the person should know the code word but cannot provide it, the child does not leave with them and immediately seeks an authorized adult.

Families should also change the code word if it is no longer secret.

3. Establish rules for public restrooms

Restrooms and other places where parents and children may temporarily lose sight of one another require clear supervision rules.

Depending on the child's age and the circumstances, families can establish that younger children do not enter alone, determine where the accompanying adult will wait and agree in advance on what to do if they become separated.

The goal is to reduce confusion and make sure the child understands the plan.

4. Teach children to clearly communicate danger

If someone attempts to take a child against their will, the child may need to quickly attract the attention of people nearby.

In addition to yelling and resisting, a specific statement such as “That's not my mom!” or “That's not my dad!” can help bystanders immediately understand that something may be wrong.

Parents should explain and practice this rule in an age-appropriate manner.

5. Have a separation plan

When arriving at a shopping center, park, festival, airport or another crowded location, families can identify a meeting point and discuss what children should do if they lose sight of their caregiver.

Children should understand that they do not need to leave the location looking for their parents or go somewhere else with an unfamiliar person.

Depending on the location, children can be taught to seek an identifiable employee, security personnel, police officer or another responsible adult and remain in a public, visible area while asking for help.

Prevention starts before an emergency

The five rules are easy to remember:

1.   Keep a current photo.

2.   Establish a family code word.

3.   Create clear supervision rules for public restrooms.

4.   Teach children a specific phrase to communicate danger.

5.   Establish a meeting and separation plan in public places.

Child safety improves when instructions are simple, age-appropriate and practiced regularly.

The goal is not to live in fear. It is to help children and adults know what to do before they ever need to do it.

Share this information with parents, relatives and caregivers, and talk with your children about your family's safety plan.
