Know the Rules.... I got this information from my boys school and I thought to share with you all. ;)

During the holiday seasons, there are so many people shopping and it gets crowds during the holidays, This applies for children, parents and person in charge.

Make cetain your children know to stay with you at all times while shopping and always CHECK FIRST with you or the person in charge before they go anywhere. It's important to know where your children are and who they are with at all times. :)


If older children become separated from you while holiday shopping, have them meet you in a predesignated spot such as the sales counter of the store you were in or the mall's information booth. They should NEVER leave the store/mall to go in the parking lot to look for you or your vehicle. :)


If you allow your older children to go to the mall or other activities without you, they need to TAKE A FRIEND. It's more fun and much safer. Older children should check in with you on a regular basis while they are out. Leave clothing with your children's names displayed at home, as it can bring unwelcome attention from inappropriate peopole who maybe be looking for an opportunity to start a conversation with your children. ;)

Nothing takes the place of your supervision when you are in a public place with your children. If you are going holiday shopping and feel that you will be distracted, make other arrangements for the care of your children. It's easy for you and your children to get distracted with all the sights, sounds, and crowds of holiday shopping so make certain they stay with you at all times. :thumb:

Thanks for your time in reading this important notice for Holiday shoppers with children. It's important to know the safety tips for the holidays to protect your children from ending up missing. ;)
 
My children are older enough responbile and have fun shopping while Im in the store... Let my kids can look their wishes or wha..ever.
My children knows about crowd but not even bother at all espically will not talk stranger anyway. I told my children meet me where this spot within 30 minutes come back. Did works well..

If your children are younger and alwaysstay with your parent all the time.. When your child is responbile enough as well... That will be great growth trust your child.. Just 2 meters distance away from your child.. as long you can spy your child and making sure your child is safe. That what I did followed my child in the shopping and what my child doing.. *peeking favorite toys first place* (standing waiting watch my child) Of course I do patience and make sure my child is okay... 1 year later.. I felt trust my child.. may go ahead have fun shopping without spy.. 30 minutes later my children came back extactly spot where we are meeting.. Tells me what's up news... and ask me little extra $ and ready to go cashier.
That is it..

If you feel not ready that okay.. I understand..

Under 7 yrs old... Best stick w/parent all the time..
 
How old are your kids GalaxyAngel? If they are older I'm sure they are allright and would meet you at a spot where you want them to meet you at, and it did worked didn't it. ;)

My oldest son is 10 years old is mature and more responsible but I rather him to go with a friend shopping instead of himself it's more safer and fun. My youngest one is 5 and he still too young to be separated from me. So he stays with me at all times. ;)
 
Two boys are 14 and 9 yrs old and daughter 11 yrs old..
They are great manage their own shopping.. unless I must stay in the store.. I refused leave the store or mall..

If I go wal-mart.. My kids will come and meet me extactly spot is nearby the cashier number 1 there have bench.. while Im sitting *waiting* for kids come back.. sometimes I did curiouis what my kid doing.. Popular my kids straight for Electricouis area reason xbox, gamecube, ps2 that where they went to.. sometimes go to Toy section.. I check them and make sure my child is okay..

Espically My little son 9 yrs old, loves look hot wheel and trying to find specific cars... put into the mini cart... I did spied.. (shhhhhh) He did not know I followed.. I'd rather kept quarrel.. (chuckles)~ :giggle: Reason he wanted showned me and can do himself shopping without bro or sister.. When he finished and on way to meet me.. I run and back sit on bench *wait for my little son* He came to me.. asked me little extra $ sometimes he asked me, why you breathing fast ? I said.. uh er um... Just hot here.. I ain't spill beans my little son what i did spy on him shortly time..
 
Yep, Your children are old enough to shop and look around on their own, and meet you at a certain location. That's great I'm glad it all worked out. You communicate very well with your kids by telling them where to meet and what time. That way you'll feel safe knowing your kids are going to meet you where you want them to meet you at. ;) You're a good mom! You should be proud. :thumb:
 
I got something like that too from my children's school, I don't like to take them shopping during the holiday unless it's less people in there....

btw sis what's up with the flags on your signature? Did you thought it was Fourth of July?... :ugh:
