Know which trusted adults can help, ask before leaving with anyone, and tell an adult about anything that feels unsafe. Subject: Personal & Social Development · Area: Responsible Decision-Making · Ages 5 to 7 Page: https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/everyday-safety-awareness-mt_q3vRl4dddK ## Ready when they can - State at least three basic safety rules and explain why each matters - Name their trusted adults and describe when they should tell them something - During pretend practice with an adult away from hazards, show a safe response to a familiar everyday situation without a reminder ## Lesson: Staying Safe Every Day A trusted adult is an adult you know who listens and helps you stay safe. This might be a parent, carer or teacher. Tell them about worries. If one adult does not listen or help, tell another trusted adult. Keep asking for help. Cross roads with your trusted adult and hold their hand. Stop back from the kerb, the edge of the pavement. Look both ways and listen for traffic. Wait until your adult says it is safe. Walk across together and keep looking for moving cars. *(drawing: Your adult helps choose when to cross. Keep looking as you walk together.)* Stay with the adult caring for you. Ask them before leaving with anyone else, even someone you know. A smile, gift or lost puppy does not replace permission. If someone asks you to go with them, stay with your adult and tell them about the request. **Example.** Ben is home with his dad. Someone knocks and asks to come in. Ben keeps the door shut and tells his dad. Let the adult caring for you decide whether to open the door. Ask your trusted adult before sharing your name, address, school or photo online, or opening a link. If a message worries you, stop using it, do not reply, and tell your adult. You can ask for help even if you already replied. Near a pool, pond or the sea, stay with your adult. Ask before going close or getting in. In water, have an adult beside you watching the whole time. A friend nearby does not replace that adult. **Recap.** Stay with your adult near roads and water. Ask before leaving with anyone or sharing online. Tell trusted adults about worries. *Original everyday-safety lesson, questions and flashcards written for this dataset.* ## Practice 8 questions on this page, each with its working shown. ## Optional connections - [Vocabulary: making decisions and keeping safe](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/vocabulary-making-decisions-and-keeping-safe-mt_uTKgmWqSoI) ## Opens up - [Water Safety](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/water-safety-mt_klF_Y8DraZ) - [Roads, Pavements and Crossing Safely](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/roads-pavements-and-crossing-safely-mt_xAX6ilyS-N) - [Basic digital citizenship](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/basic-digital-citizenship-mt_zIzJGkaj0Q)
