Emergencies can be scary, but talking about them calmly helps children feel secure.

Start With the Basics

• Explain what an emergency is in simple words.
• Talk about safe adults (like firefighters or police officers) who help.
• Practice simple safety steps together.

Ask Reassuring Questions

• Who are some safe adults you can go to for help?
• What should we do if we hear a loud siren?
• How can we help each other feel calm?
