For parents who have children who are at home alone for part of the day during the week, New Year’s is a perfect time to update your list of emergency numbers. Take a few moments to make sure that your children know what to do and who to call if there’s an emergency and you can’t be reached.
Then, call the numbers on your list and make sure your emergency contacts are still available to be on your list. Verify that their numbers are still the same and that there haven’t been any changes in their schedules.
Taking a few moments to update this list will give you and your children peace of mind and will make sure that any future emergencies are safely and easily handled before they turn into major crises.
For parents who would like an even greater degree of security and peace of mind, consider one of Monitronics home security alarms for single parents, which feature cell phone notification when your child makes it home from school and a variety of other interactive security features.
