I am not in the best of health. What is a non-scary way of making sure my 6 year old GC would know what to do if I were taken ill while in sole overnight charge of them?
This had never been on my mind until today. They would have no way of alerting emergency services or family.
Should I show them how to make an emergency call on my landline? Obviously I could put my postcode next to the phone.
Neighbours are a possibility but first the child would need to know how to open the front door, not a big deal. Then it would be a question of which neighbour! No one springs to mind as being likely to be in, in good health and with an acccessible knocker or doorbell.
I’m probably overthinking a (hopefully) remote possibility but would ideas, relevant experiences. THank you in advance.
