Shareable Quotes:

  • “I’m all about repeating conversations that are spoken in the home to the kids, because we have to face it, kids learn by repetition. You can’t just say it once!” – Miranda Mathis
  • “Bullying is, sometimes, the child having a low sense of esteem and they want someone to recognize them. There’s something going on in the inside and we need to find out what’s going on.” – Miranda Mathis
  • “In this day and age, we need to be a lot more aware of who, what, when, where, and how. Don’t wait until police are knocking at your door or you’re getting a “come to school” note from the principal.” – Miranda Mathis

Take Action:

  • Talk to your kids consistently – Ask about their day, who they met, what they talked about, and more.
  • Make a family code for emergencies and ensure they do not tell anyone outside of your immediate family.
  • Practice different safety scenarios when you can so that they are familiar with what to do in emergencies.
  • Look at your child’s phone. Know who is talking to them and what they are sharing.
