Together they are the All-Star Safety Patrol Kids, and they're here to help your child learn the ABC's and 123's of safety — from playing with friends to avoiding strangers — while practicing the alphabet and counting to ten.

Growing Up Safe and Unafraid: Child Safety Tips for Parents and Grandparents

The go-to guidebook for parents and grandparents

This guidebook covers common and uncommon child-safety topics from A to Z — anxiety in children to creating Zen moments. Find easy-to-follow steps on bullying, protecting a child's credit file, preparing a child to resist a predator's grooming, the importance of teaching kindness, hidden dangers in video games, and why "Trusted Adults" and "Tricksters" work better than "stranger danger" — for children from baby to 18 years old.
