A presentation of AIT.
When you The morning and look in the mirror you see your eyes,
mouth, teeth, hair, ears and nose, your muscles and bones give
you a real good place for you to wear your clothes.
You've got your. Looking brain and heart and what we think
and feels are very important. Get
we do what we Like me and you look
like you. It's a bunch of neat stuff. It's fun to know.
Some things in your house are waiting to get
you.
They're in the kitchen, they're in every
room. You
might not even be safe even in your own bedroom,
and that's because Lots of
things can get you if you don't want out.
Christopher knows. Watch.
I'm standing in front of one of the most dangerous places on
earth. This is where they keep poison
and sharp knives and
explosives. And
Serious drugs Scary, huh?
Today I'm going in this dangerous place. Why?
Because I live here. Come on.
Mom, I'm home. I'll see you in just a minute.
You know what? Every year more kids get hurt at home than
any place else. It's true. That's because we like to play
and some of the things we play with are really dangerous. I'll
show you some of the things in my house that are dangerous.
My dad goes hunting, so he keeps his guns in the house. They're
usually locked up. But sometimes the doors open.
I could play with the guns if I really wanted to, but I'd never do
that because I know that thousands of kids every year get hurt from
playing with real guns. Some of them even get killed.
There's one more thing. There's something in every single room that
can burn you. It's not fire, but still can bring you really
bad up there and over there.
Electricity, it's everywhere in your house, but that doesn't mean
it's safe. Never put anything into a wall socket or
in a light. That means your fingers or a pen or a
toy or anything. And if you ever see sparks or
smoke, run and tell your parents electricity
is not a toy. You think that's
scary. This place is even worse, the
kitchen. First of all, look at all these
knives. They are definitely sharp and they could definitely cut
your skin wide open. Never use a knife unless a grown up is
with you. Second of all, look down
here. What's in all these bottles and cans? I'll tell you
what poison. If you swallow it, they might have to take you to
the hospital, and some of it hurts if you just get it on your
skin. I'm telling you, stay out of here under the
sink is definitely a grown up place. And so is
this. Medicine, when
you're sick, it might be good for you, but if you swallow medicine that's for
somebody else, it can make you sick. Let your parents give
you medicine when you need it.
Tools can be really handy, but if you don't use them right, they can also
be dangerous. So never use a tool unless a
grown-up is with you.
There are a lot of things that can get me in my house, but I'm not scared
because if you know what to play with, what not to play with, you'll be
safe at home.
Oh, that's loud. Yeah, well, it's supposed to
be loud so that you'll hear it whenever there's a fire. A smoke alarm can
save your life. Oh, somebody at the door here, just a
minute. Hi Bob.
I just passed by and heard the smoke alarm. Is everything OK? Oh yeah, yeah, it's OK. We were, we
were just testing it and we're actually, we're talking about safety, safety.
I just happen to know a song about safety. Would you like to hear it? Come on, you don't know.
Well, come on, yeah, come on, we'd like to hear it.
Actually, I've been singing this song quite a bit to my new baby. Sam,
come on in. Paula's got a song about safety. Hi Sam. Guess what?
I brought my own music too. Really? How you do that?
Huh? It's OK to play, it's
OK to have fun, and secrets are
OK too. But you really gotta
think about what you're playing with and what you're playing
with could do. So if you aren't really
sure or you just don't know, I've got something to
share with you. Just play it
smart, just play it safe, cause you don't want an
ouchie or a bandage or a big black and blue.
Play it safe. If you don't know what it is,
play it safe. Just leave it alone. Play
it safe. If you don't know what it'll do, play
it safe. Just leave it alone.
it And before you play,
find out what it is and if it's OK, play
it safe.
And you'll be safe at home.
Play it safe. If you don't know what it is,
play it safe. Just leave it alone.
Play it safe. If you don't know what it'll do, play
it safe. Play
it. And before you play,
find out what it is and if it's OK, play it
safe. Just leave. And
you'll be safe at home.
Whoa, great song. Look at the time. I've got to
go. Paula. Wow, wasn't that a great song
on safety? Wow. And wasn't it scary
how Paula just happened to know a song about safety just as we were
talking about a smoke alarm? Oh
But you know it is important to talk about safety and smoke alarms and
fire, for example, what do you think the first thing is that
you should do if there's a fire in your house? Should you try to put
the fire out yourself? Should you get out of the house?
Should you try to grab all your toys and things and try to save them?
You decide. And the correct answer
is get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don't
try to put the fire out yourself because that's a very difficult thing to do and you might actually
make it worse. And don't try to save anything because the most valuable
thing in the house is you. Your parents and your friends want you to be
safe too. So meet them outside or if there's nobody around, go to a
neighbor. Now, suppose you wake up in the middle of the
night and your bedroom is completely filled with smoke and there's so much
smoke that you can't see anything. Do you know what to do? Do you know Tiffany?
Yes. Can you show us? Sure.
Oh no, the room's all full with smoke. I can't see
anything.
Great. Did you see what she did? She got down on her hands and knees
and crawled out of the room. Good stuff, Tiffany, and that's what you should do
because smoke always rises to the top of the room first.
So if this room actually was filled with smoke, it may only come down to about
here. Down here there may not be any smoke at all, so you can not
only breathe better, but you can see better as well. I know something else.
What's that? I know what to do if our clothes ever catch on fire. I
do too. So do I. OK, then, why don't you all tell us what to do when your
clothes are on fire? Stop, drop and roll.
Bravo, bravo. Just think, stop, drop and
roll. Don't try to run because that might make the fire worse.
So stop what you're doing, then drop to the ground
and roll around. And that's the best thing to
do if your clothes ever catch on fire. So what is it, kids?
Stop, drop and roll.
Going places is a lot of fun, but you have to be careful when you're not at home because
you can hurt yourself in a lot of different ways. Sam and Chow and Naomi
can show us some of the things that they do to be safe when they're not at home.
Lots of things you can do to make bike riding safer like this
book bag. If I didn't have a book bag and I had to carry some books home from
school, I could only ride with one hand, and that's not
only dangerous, it's stupid. You should always ride with
both hands. And I have reflectors. I have one on
the front and one on the back and one on both wheels,
and I have a light in case I'm ever out riding with my parents and it gets
dark. I want cars to be able to see me and hear me.
But do you know the thing on my bike that makes it really, really safe?
Me, I make my bike safe because I know how to ride
safely. I always ride on the right side of the road.
I stop at stop signs and of course at red lights.
This isn't very smart. See, when we ride side by side,
we take up almost the whole street. Then cars can't get by.
This is much better. Now cars can get by. Do you know the
hand signals for turning? This means I'm turning right.
This means I'm turning left. I walk places
every day. When I cross the street, I always cross at the
corner. If there's a crosswalk, I cross the street there.
A crosswalk looks like this.
Let's go for a ride in the car.
Wait, I'm not safe yet.
Now I'm safe. Let's go.
You know the great thing about Chow wearing his seat belt or
Sam riding her bike safely or Naomi looking both ways before she crosses the
street? Their kids just like you and they've taken
responsibility for their own safety you know that's an
important part of growing up is learning how to take care of yourself and you can do
that you can make safe choices every day. Now let me give you
an example. Suppose a stranger,
somebody you don't know, starts talking to you. Suppose this stranger
wants to give you something or take you for a ride in their car, what
should you do? Well, why don't you take responsibility and find
out? Ask your teacher or ask your parents what you should do if
a stranger talks to you. You can do it. You can find out
what's safe, and that's important. Your home can be
a dangerous place. Grown up things like guns and knives,
cleaning materials and medicine, these are not toys. They can hurt you.
Electricity is dangerous too. If your house is on fire,
the best thing to do is to get out as fast as you can. If there's a lot
of smoke, crawl on the ground. If your clothes
catch fire, remember, stop, drop and roll.
Learn how to make your bike safe. Always obey street signs and
traffic lights, and ride single file so cars can
pass. When you go walking, always look both ways
before you cross, cross the street at the corner, look for
a traffic light or a crosswalk. Fasten your seatbelt when you
go for a ride in a car. One more thing,
if you are in any kind of trouble. Get to a
telephone and remember this number.
911. That's the number of the people who
can help you. 911. If you're in a fire, if somebody's
really sick or if you're in any kind of trouble at all, dial
911 and have someone show you where those
numbers are on the telephone. OK,
sit down. Let's talk about it. Come right in here. OK, what's up? Well,
if you get lost like at the mall or at a park, what should you do?
Stand still. Yeah, stand still. But I think you should go look for
