Winter Safety Tips

Keeping yourself safe outdoors in the winter can be challenging, but if you dress properly and take precautions, winter can be filled with lots of fun activities.

One of the best tips we have learned over the years is WALK LIKE A PENGUIN when on slippery ground. Basically, it means feet pointing outward, small steps and use your arms for balance like in the video below.

While outdoor winter safety tips are important, indoor safety is important as well. Safety Tree wants everyone to practice indoor safety and has some upcoming classes to prepare kids for this.

Cyber Security Awareness Month Seminar With Safety Tree And Binary Tattoo – Enter To Win

Did you know that OCTOBER is CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH? While there are some great tips on the Government of Canada website, there are so many other things to think about when it comes to staying safe online.  That is why our friends at Safety Tree have partnered with Binary Tattoo to assist parents with what they should know when it comes to their child’s / children’s online presence.

(click image to enlarge info)

These topics are seldom spoken of when it comes to internet safety, which means there is not a lot of information out there.  Safety Tree and Binary Tattoo want to ensure you are properly prepared for these online issues and have the tools to thwart any threat to your family’s online security.  This is why Safety Tree is holding a workshop for parents.

Waterloo Region Parents:
We are very excited to be partnering with Binary Tattoo to bring you 'Social Media 101 for Parents' on Sunday October 30th from 7-8:30pm.
In this talk we help empower parents with the knowledge of what kids are doing online and how best to help them navigate this new digital world. You will leave with lots of information and tips from starting conversations to monitoring.
To register, email your full name and email address to info@safetytreecanada.com.

 

We think this is an important seminar for parents to attend, especially parents in the Region of Waterloo.  Being that we are living in the tech hub of Canada, it is highly likely that our kids will be using the online world at various ages for a variety of tasks. Whether it be for homework, messaging friends or online gaming, parents need to know what their children are doing on the web.  Make sure you register for this important information session and be sure to check out the other safety courses that Safety Tree has to offer. As you know from our last Safety Tree post, keep your family safe in any situation is their priority.

Safety Tree Safety Classes For Kids – Enter To Win

When most of us were growing up, families knew each other in the neighbourhood and everyone looked out for one another.  In fact, the most I learned about strangers was from the Block Parent information we received at school or by listing to Rick Springfield.

Modern Day Safety Concerns

Things have really changed.  Nowadays there are bullies, cyber stalkers and a lot of “Stranger Danger” in our communities.  While this is disheartening for our area, it is important to be vigilant when it comes to keeping kids safe.  It is more than just being aware of your surroundings or never opening the door to someone you don’t know.  Actually safety goes well beyond that now.  It’s important for children to know what to do in an emergency situation such as someone getting hurt or what to do in case of a fire.  All of these things are issues that kids need to be prepared for.  That’s where SAFETY TREE comes in.  They provide Safety Training For Kids.

Their goal is

“to demonstrate that we're all competent capable learners and if given the proper tools, encouragement and chance each individual has potential to succeed”

We think that giving kids the best information will make them confident in the choices that they will make when unexpected situations arise, that’s why we’re letting our readers know that there will be Home Alone Safety for Kids, My Safe Life and the Red Cross Babysitting Courses being offered in the in Kitchener/Waterloo/Guelph/Cambridge this Fall and Winter. Go to safetytreecanada.com to register for a class.  These courses may just save you from paying high rates for before and after school care, knowing that your competent kids want to stay Home Alone or Babysit on the PD Days. It will give you piece of mind knowing that your kids are safe and sound. 

Safety Tree Upcoming 2016 Class dates are Sept 10, Sept 18, Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 2, Oct 16, Oct 28, Oct 29, Nov 25
