Getting Ready for Christmas
Nov 23, 2016 | 6:29 AM
Many of us have started baking, decorating, writing and wrapping. Christmas concerts will soon happen in our area schools and the Christmas party invitations are already in our mail boxes. It is one of the busiest times of the year and not just for retailers.
If you do take your children to the mall:
- Hold your children’s hand tightly in the parking lots and streets, you never know what will catch their eye and have them darting off between cars or into a crowd.
- NEVER leave your child/children in an un-attended car, even if it’s only “for a minute.”
- Have you talked to your kids about what to do if you get separated? They should go to the closest open cash register they see and tell the clerk they are lost and NOT MOVE from that spot, NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS until you arrive.
- When using the washroom at the mall, either go in with them, or stand at the door until they come out, if it seems like they have been in there too long, open the door a crack and ask if everything is OK, forget embarrassment, this is your child.
