Kids need to be taught how to be safe from a young age. The basic safety tips that all parents can give to their kids is that they should not speak to strangers. Basic road safety tips should also be taught to the kids from a young age, even though they would hardly be able to follow on their own but this helps them to be aware. Teaching the kids not to divulge personal information to anyone is a good thing as also not to take anything from anybody. Such simple tips help in keeping the child safe from dangerous situations. Bus safety rules should also be taught to the kids.
I agree with Neha. Kids should not let strangers touch their body, they should be taught about good and bad touch. They should always remember all personal details such as address and phone numbers. They should always ask permission from elders before going anywhere or doing anything. They should be open to and close top their parents and tell everything about them so that the parents can sense any possible danger if there is. They should be vocal about their dislikes. These minor things help in keeping the kids safe.
