What is safety?

Safety is knowing that you can play without getting hurt because you have friends watching out for you.

Imagine you're playing on a slide at the park. You know it's fun to go down fast, but sometimes you might fall if you don’t watch where you’re going. That’s when your friends, or maybe even an adult, step in to make sure you’re okay. They help you feel safe so you can keep playing.

What Safety Feels Like

Safety is like having a big umbrella on a rainy day. When it rains, the umbrella keeps you dry. You don’t have to worry about getting wet, you just enjoy the walk home. In the same way, safety helps you stay calm and happy even when things get a little tricky.

Why Safety Matters

Without safety, it's like playing in the dark, you might trip or fall because you can't see where you're going. But with safety, you know someone is there to help if you need it, just like how your parents are always there for you when you’re having fun at the park.
