A Lost Toddler On Vacation
How do you prepare for a lost toddler or child who isn't capable of following instructions about getting lost?
In Willy Whitefeather's Outdoor Survival Handbook for Kids, Willy suggests this:
Litte Tater wanders away from camp, but nobody saw him leave! Mom put a bright red fluorescent vest on him, so he can be seen, and strapped on some homemade jingle bells (on his ankles and wrists), so he can be heard and keep animals away!
Pin your cell phone / contact information inside their shirt so you could be paged, if they do get lost.
Another suggestion is to to get a child safety harness. Ok, I know some of you might be thinking "I have a CHILD not a DOG!"
But think about these issues -
Nursemaid's Elbow - a common injury in children 1 - 3. Most commonly it occurs when a child is falling and the individual holding the hand doesn't let go. I know, my three girls all had it, as well as my husband, their elbow popped out of joint.
Curiosity - It allows your child to explore and still be quickly and easily pulled back from danger.
Child Abductions - With the rise of child abductions and sexual assaults, a potential kidnapper will find the leash an obstacle not worth the effort or risk. Leashes are not just for dogs: children & safety)
Keep your children safe, plan ahead, be prepared.

After reading a good blog I tend to analyze it to see what the person behind it might be like.
I've been in the goal setting business a while now and just like most people with experience in different areas of expertise, I can tell a lot about a person just by speaking to them or reading something they've written.
You haven't wrtten any goals on paper for awhile have you? And if you have I'll bet you haven't looked at them for a long time. Right?
travel is hard work, and harder still if you don't have short range goals, set midrange goals and long range goals.
I think you'll agree that few people really take the time to set goals of any kind.
When is the last time you really thought about setting some real goals, or are you like the vast majority of people who just "hope for the best"?
You already know successful people aren't "just lucky", they know how to set effective goals and reach them.
I was like that once, you might be also. How about changing all that.
Come on over to goals+ and learn exactly how to set effective goals, act on them and be the real you.
There's a ton of FREE information and who knows, this little insert in your blog might well change your life!
Happy New Year!
