My biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe would be bullying, mental and emotional health, and making sure they are having all the nutrients they need and eating enough to grow strong and be healthy.

My biggest worry on a normal day is when children get wild enough to potentially get themselves or each other hurt. Once in a while during outside time, I’m afraid that a child will wonder off too far if I don’t call them back. But worst case scenario, a fire, an earthquake, or a school shooter could threaten the kids’ lives. What I’m most interested in learning is how to protect the kids and ourselves if such extreme emergencies happen.

I have a few big worries, keeping them safe from other children biting, hitting, pushing them and hurting their heads. I also fear the outside world, internet, the shooting going on at schools and random places. Another huge fear I have is abuse that may be going on at home, and if I would not be aware of it. Just a few among many!!!!

My biggest concern in general is definitely also internet safety once they are older, and in the child care setting, my biggest worry would be a child running away during an outing or outdoor activity where we are not in an enclosed area, and entering a possibly unsafe situation.

[Megan]

my biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe is, sometimes things happen so fast and you can’t prevent some things from happening. I do try to make sure I can stay as healthy as i can.

[Brooklyn]

My biggest worry about keeping my child safe would be what they may have access to in someone elses care, what they are exposed to when im not there.

[veena]

My biggest worry would be safety, socializing with others and, healthy eating and habits.

[Priya Anand]

Safety is my biggest concern.

[Fabian]

Exposure to infectious diseases, accidents, injury from unsafe equipment or materials, and inadequate supervision

[Jennifer]

From a daycare standpoint, one fear would be a child that is violent to those around them, other students or adults. I hope that I would be able to diffuse the situation and protect the others around. I also hope that I will be able to discuss the situation with the parents of the child with success

My biggest worry about keeping children safe is being prepared when we are on a lockdown. I’m looking forward to learning ways to help keep children safe and teach children how to be safe in fun ways.

Me preocuparé por la intimidación, el estrés, la alimentación poco saludable y también no dejaré a un niño pequeño cerca del agua, revisaré regularmente los juguetes que estén rotos y afilados, tenga cuidado a la hora del almuerzo, no permita que hablen o se rían demasiado mientras comen para que puede que no se ahogueMe preocuparé por la intimidación, el estrés, la alimentación poco saludable y también no dejaré a un niño pequeño cerca del agua, revisaré regularmente los juguetes que estén rotos y afilados, tenga cuidado a la hora del almuerzo, no permita que hablen o se rían demasiado mientras comen para que puede que no se ahogue

What is your biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe?

My biggest concern in keeping children safe is over stepping my bounds but I know that as a caregiver or Teacher it is my responsibility to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

[Kelly Ann]

My biggest concern is not being able to tell if the child is in a unsafe environment at home.

What is your biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe?

My biggest worry about keeping children safe relates to natural disasters. Near where I live and work, there is a possibility of a lahar drill. This means that if Mount Rainier was to erupt, it would landslide into the town of where the school is. We are trained to have the students and ourselves run up the nearest hill in order to get out of the valley. However, I am nervous that if this happens, I will struggle knowing what to do and am terrified I won’t be able to get all of them to safety.
