Parents think this be good rules for going to the fair?

I am going to my town Fair this late afternoon. I am setting rules for my 6 year old and four year old. You think this be good for them both.

1. Stay with mommy all times.

2. No running off

3. Listen to mommy.

4. No playing in the dirt.

5. No talking to strangers.

6. If you don't see mommy start yelling for mommy or find a sheriff or police officer.

That all I can think off. If you have anymore ideas please let me know. We do have sheriff and police there incase anything does happen. I have my digital camera but I taking one set of pictures of them want they are wearing and want they look like just incase something does happen. It more accurate then a month go I would say. Be watching rough truck tonight there and we be sitting our chairs over the dirt.. I have my stroller if my four year old doesn't listen. Which he been doing good listening. He does get tired out easy of walking ( asthma he has), My 6 year old has ADHD.. But setting rules before I leave so I can tell them.

    I agree with them, however instead of yelling for an officer tell them to look for one or to find another mommy and tell them he is lost. Other than that, have fun at the fair! :)

    1. Hold hands with mommy at all times.

    6. If you don't see mommy - stay put. Mommy will find you. Only if you see a police do you leave where you are.

    7. If someone takes you - yell - YOUR NOT MY MOMMY - HELP repeately

    Also, put your cell phone number on something and keep in their pocket - or a piece of tape inside their shoe. Teach them to show the number to police if needed.

    Well I don't usually put that much thought into it. My kids listen everywhere we got and stick by me. But if you are worried or have kids that are hyper, like your older one, than I would make the rules very simple and few

    A- ALWAYS be where I can see you

    B- Beware of people you don't know, even if they are friendly

    C- Carefully and loudly scream for police if someone offers you candy or tries to lure you away

    I think that is much easier to remember

    Don't scare the kids! You sound pretty scared and that will pass onto the kids. Just let them have fun and have set and clear consequences... 'everytime you don't listen, you have to stand by me and miss a ride while your brother goes on one and you watch'. I think it sounds fun... don't sweat it. Keep it simple and fun.

    Source(s): EDIT... the word 'stanger' is a poor choice of words. I know so many people use it... but if a nice lady comes up and wants to offer you candy and 'your mommy said its ok to help me find my dog'... that lady doesn't look strange at all... but rather nice. I always say... don't talk to people that you don't know.... strange or nice looking. Stranger is a word that is hard for kids to grasp

    Sounds good. Maybe you can give the 6 year old a job, like "protecting' the four year old, or be in charge of when/what snacks to get. Fill their time with things they can do, like spotting different animals, etc. Don't expect them to remember all the things they are not allowed to do, or they will focus on those things.

    I think that those rules are fine. If you give them too many they children get confused. Other than that pray that all goes well and enjoy your family outing. It is normal as a parent to worry about the safety of your children.

    That sounds fair and reasonable to me. You are concerned about their safety. You are teaching them proper behavior for public events.

    That has to be tough with a 6 year old and ADHD. My youngest brother has that. My parents had a tough time with him. It's more challenging.

    i imagine a number of the guidelines are relatively straightforward. I allowed to have a boyfriend now to not indicate refer to adult adult males till I moved out. i replaced into allowed to have a myspace and facebook with out any personal files, %. etc on it and all our information superhighway time replaced into monitored (comp in the front room) figure searching over shoulder. No dances or prom right here both.i imagine the PG score is slightly severe. even if the films we went to bypass see had to be approved by technique of oldsters (through comments and trailers or their having considered it already). some R videos allowed contained in the domicile counting on what it replaced into rated R for. I also imagine the no swimming with opposite sex is slightly over board. Txting might want to be because they don't like it ingesting your existence or they don't desire you going over board because of value counting on their cellular plan. i can comprehend that because I ran up a $three hundred bill once for that very reason oops. As for the relationships themes...i can comprehend the position they are coming from. they do exactly not want you to get damage which regrettably even with all their guidelines and how a lot they strive against and protect you it may nevertheless take position. i'm evidence of that. My infant woman is in ordinary words 9 months yet I too will attempt to do each thing i can to guard her from each and each of the undesirable emotional and actual factors of bf/gf relationships. some issues should be left for marriage - and no im no longer attempting to be some preachy Jesus freak on that. Its in simple terms the reality. As for gown i think of their guidelines are relatively good. All my shorts had to bypass to my knees and outfits to my ankles. No tank tops, sleeves had to be a particular length etc. i could not even placed on make - up till eventually i replaced into 16 or perhaps then it would want to in ordinary words be lip gloss and mascara with some starting up position. evaluate your self blessed you've mothers and fathers who care about you and love you sufficient to provide barriers for you. they are in ordinary words attempting to guard you from damage. in simple terms carry in there you're virtually 18 at which period if issues are extremely that undesirable and do not replace by technique of then you absolutely can flow out and make your own guidelines.

    They sound good but one suggestion I always tell my kids to fin a lady if possible. I once saw somewhere thet you should tell your children to find a woman as oppose to a man.
