One thing that worries me most about keeping children safe is when they are eating because I am so scared that one of the children is going to choke. I am also worried about keeping children safe while outside due to the area that we are in. I am most interested in learning about how to help children manage their emotions so that we can keep the environment safe.

My biggest concern about keeping kids safe is that I might unintentionally do something that hinders their capacity for meaningful learning. Additionally, it can be difficult to keep kids physically safe on the playground. There are some things that you may not catch or can be out of your control.

I’ve recently thought about internet safety when talking to my friends parents about their 11 year old girl, and its hard thinking about internet safety since things have changed so much since I was a small child while also thinking about the childs freedom, trust, and letting them have privacy while also making sure they’re being safe at the same time. It’s a hard loop going around thinking about.

My biggest worry is to have something bad happen to the children like them getting hurt by falling really bad or cutting themselves and bleeding a lot.

1.My biggest worry is that a child will get hurt while under my supervision. I fear that a child might get hurt while playing outside and I will be distracted other children.

2. I am most interested in learning about the safety standards that I can make sure are implemented at the center to insure the children are as safe as possible.

One worry that I have about keeping kids safe and healthy is for someone to get hurt while attending to another student. Even when we have safe and developmentally appropriate environments it is still possible for kids to get hurt. I feel bad when kids get hurt, but I will focus on practicing empathy. I will also make sure that I have the proper ratio

I also worry about whether children have a good home environment. When children experience high levels of stress it can impact their learning and interactions and behaviors towards others. Things like neglect and abuse make me worry. These cause stress for children and are traumatizing. I try my best to make sure that they are all healthy and safe, but this worries me.

My biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe is that you don’t know when an intruder can arrive or the people around you even parents can sudden get angry. You can’t predict what that person will do.

Allergens are a big worry I always check recheck and then check again

I want to learn as much as possible. I believe a person should strive to learn all their life

[Olivia]

My biggest worry is school shootings and sickness. Children are always sick, and parents are not always the best at keeping them home. What doesn’t affect one child very much, could be life-threatening for another. As for school shootings, there is nothing you can do to predict them, and nothing you as a teacher can do to prevent them.

[Ranjana]

Getting hurt on playgrounds, choking, hitting each other, internet, drugs & shooting.

[Lexy]

My biggest worry about keeping children safe is the unpredictability of the people and weather in the generation we live in.

[Liana]

Agreeing with the previous replies I feel that Internet safety as well as environment safety is my biggest worry.

[Ashley]

My biggest fear is something serious happening and me somehow missing it and a child being seriously hurt.

Find positive ways to create routines and processes that decrease your worry.

School shootings. Someone getting severely injured on my watch. Missing clues that a child is being abused at home.

[Robyn]

I am worried about the possiblity of school shootings. I also am concerned about aggressive children or abusive parents.
