Keeping Ourselves Safe #2 - Lost

Getting lost can be pretty scary.
Here are some of the thoughts and feelings that Room 1 used to describe the feeling of being lost:

scared

sad

lonely

stressed

worried

anxious

I feel like I'm not going to be found

scared someone might take me

I'm crying

time - it always feels like a really long time even if it isn't

We watched a video of Bryan and Bobby and came up with a plan in case we are ever lost.

1. Stay Calm
2. Find someone responsible who can help you. This might be a shopworker at the mall, a lifeguard at the pool, a security guard at the stadium, a teacher on a school trip or a policeman anywhere.
3. Say where you last saw your family.
4. Remember your name, address and phone number so they can help you.

The BEST thing you can do is have a PLAN before you get lost. Arrange a place to meet in case you get lost or can't find each other. It might be a landmark that is visible all around (like a light tower) or a place you know really well in the mall.

If you do get separated STAY in that place until your parents come to find you.
