A Game for the Kids

This morning my Daughter woke me up early. Daddy, I want to play. Being early on a Sunday Morning I asked if we could go to her room and have Talk Time. I really want to do something else. That is when I came up with the idea of a new game.

What would you do if...?

I asked her what she would do if the roof of the house blew off in a storm at night. Her response, Go to her tow brothers rooms then to our room.

Then she asked me:

Daddy, what would you do if a knife fell off the counter and cut my foot off - a heady question for an 8 year old competitive dancer. I explained basic first aide and that we live close to the hospital (about 1 mile away.) She smiled and was relieved.

The cool thing about this game this morning was as her brothers woke up, they too participated in the game. We discussed stranger danger, nasty weather, fluke accidents and even what would happen if mom and dad died in an car crash - who would we live with, backup plans......

Take some time and discuss items like this with your kids. It will put them at ease that you are thinking of different things to keep them safe.
