Children and 9-1-1
Challies linked to this very sweet (everything is OK in the end!) and yet stressful (calling 9-1-1 is always stressful) video:
And it reminded me that I may never have shared this book with you all:
It’s Time to Call 9-1-1: What to do in an Emergency
Just like the very helpful Safe Side Super Chick video, I really appreciate how the author communicates vital information WITHOUT painting the entire world as dangerous/to be feared.
As someone who had to call 9-1-1 as a child (teenager, but still) when her parent was near death, I can tell you that I was nowhere near as composed as the little five year-old on this video. But I did know to call 9-1-1. And I started training Sophia (and will train Ella) on the appropriate and inappropriate use of 9-1-1. It’s just wise to do so! And who knows? It may save a life one day …
