Lesson Content
Persons To Accept Things From
it’s critically important to be careful and only accept items from people we trust. People we can safely accept things from include:
parents or Guardians:
They always want what’s best for you.
Teachers:
They care for your safety and well-being at school.
Relatives:
Such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Family Friends:
Known and trusted friends of your family.
School Authorities:
Such as the principal, school nurse, or security personnel.
Safe and Unsafe Offers
A child may accept an appropriate item from a parent, guardian, teacher or another trusted adult when its purpose is clear. A child should not accept food, medicine, money, gifts or a ride from an unknown person or keep an offer secret from caregivers.
Even a familiar person can make an unsafe request. Pupils should pause, refuse, move to a safe place and tell a trusted adult when an offer feels wrong, involves secrecy or asks them to go somewhere without permission. Safety is more important than appearing polite.
