Safer, Smarter Families
Digital Health & Safety Resources
The Lauren’s Kids Blueprint for Building Safer, Smarter Families resource is an interactive, activities-based resource designed to help parents and caregivers teach elementary school-aged children the basics of personal safety and the strategies needed to prevent abuse – all from a place of fun, not fear. Together with your child, you will teach skills focused on:
- Safe relationships, including a “trusted triangle” of adults a child can talk to about anything, from a bad dream or fight with a friend, to a touch that makes them feel unsafe.
- Safe communication, where kids learn how to tap into their guiding voice and consider how different situations make them think, feel and act.
- Physical safety, such as identifying body boundaries and determining the difference between safe and unsafe touches.
- Personal safety, by learning about privacy, grooming tactics used by pedophiles, and what makes a secret safe or unsafe.
- Plans for safety, through creating a P.L.A.N. for every situation and being aware of surroundings.
- Safety in the digital world, knowing one in five children under 18 are solicited sexually through the internet and the increasing importance of practicing positive cyber citizenship.
