Have you skilled your toddler how to christen 911?
I was thinking about this yesterday. Since my wife is a SHAM, she spends most of her time at home alone with the boys. But what if something be to happen to her? We have a 4, 2, and 1 year old. Can a 4 year antediluvian respond to an emergency situation with the sense to dial 911? Or is that above their capacity to put two and two together when mom is, for example, on the floor having a heart attack?
Yes, adjectives my kids know how to call emergency services and why
I think it all depends on the 4 year prehistoric. My son loves hitting numbers on the phone (he just turned 4). I would be more worried about him calling 911 on purpose because it be the number I taught him, then relieved he knew the number for an emergency.
However, as he mature I will change my mind. At the moment, I'm not sure if it will be 4 1/2 or 5 when he's ready for this information, but I would base it solely on the individual child and what his/ her spontaneous effect is to responsibilities. I think that a 4 year old is capable of responding to an emergency contained by this manner, as long as they are mature enough to help yourself to the information seriously.
I deem the cable guy would have enough decency to ring 911 and hang up so at least the paramedics would arrive instead of leaving her in that naked.
As soon as they can understand the basics of right and wrong-they should be taught this. We taugh my 4 year prehistoric daughter when she was 3 because she pushed the buttons on the phone. We had to teach her what is for and when to nickname and only when to call it and what would happen if she call it and nothing was wrong, etc.
Answers: When I be about 4 or 5 years old, my sister (8 years older than me) tried to tutor me how to use 911.
I was terrible at memorizing things, but I could remember 911, just not my street address.
So she skilled me, in the case of an emergency, to dial 911, and tell the personage who answered what had happened, and to look across the street, and read the number off the apartment building and enlighten the person on the other end that I was "across the street" form that number.
Thinking rear legs on it, those days were before caller ID, and I didn't know the street christen. So unless they traced the call, wouldn't have that good of an hypothesis as to where the problem was.
Even at that age, I was one of the "there's no such entry as an emergency" type of personalities. I had figured that most of the time, most nation always blew everything out of proportion. And 99% of the time, I think I was right nearly that.
So if a real emergency had occurred, and it be up to me to contact the authorities, I probably would have thought that the person having the heart-attack be weird, old, or pulling my leg. Unless they told me to dial 911, I never would have be able to assess the situation independently, until I would have been roughly speaking 7 or 8 years old.
my husband worries about this to, i see something in the news a little while aao more or less a mother who was bathing her kids and she slipped and banged her head on the tub knocked out cold she came round to find hrer childern has drowned contained by the bath it was just the most horrible piece ever really made me worry that something like that could happen to me
i havent established what to do yet as i dont want to scare her have be thinking about telling her to speak to the neighbours, we know them reasonably very well
Yes, but that backfired at one point. Alise woke up in the middle of the night, and Abby be not in the crib beside her. Sooo, she phoned 911! Geesh...Abby had gotten sick in the darkness and was in bed with us. So I am awakened to a 911 worker asking me if I had my babby.
My three year old know how to call 911. I haven't taught my two year old daughter though. My three year ancient son Pix knows "If mommy is hurt really bad or if Charlie is when mommy isn't here (I'm always at hand though) is hurt to get the phone and call 911 and tell them what happend and where on earth we live."
No.
Imaginary non-existent toddlers don't requirement my advice.
I started teaching Aidan at 3. By 4 he claimed to know exactly what to do & showed me. He also knows his street address. If we are not at home and he have to call, then I'm in trouble, lol.
I swear, they need to verbs insane mothers who kill their babies because no baby can fight wager on.
It was on the news this morning. A mother in Arizona have killed her three kids. They are now taking the bodies of the three babies back to New York to be lie to rest. My prayers are with the father, who lost his children. I am truly sorry for his loss.
If only those babies had a cellphone to dial 911 beside, police could have arrived and stopped the carnage. This is a horrifying incident that could have be prevented, had those babbys been trained to dial 911.
Hi
I advise you take him to a place call streetwise. It's down south near Dorset. 999 is only for nececcities, he needs to know that.
Yes I have taught my four year old how to dial 911.
It is a fearsome thought. I would feel more confident being home alone with any one of my elder sons but my four year old I don't know I am not very confident that if I was alone beside him, or him and his baby brother that he would remember to/be able to call 911 if something happen to me.
Give them all Glocks too, just within case someone breaks in while your wife is having a heart attack.
My son is 2.5 yrs old and will be 3 in Nov. I’ve debated roughly speaking this. I have a nice book given to us by the daycare and it’s a story/coloring book that teaches kids just that.
I guess when my son is ripened enough to understand that dialing the phone and dialing 911 isn’t a game??
We’re still erudition numbers. So once he has those two things memorized, I’d be more than happy to teach him.
I’m curious though – dutiful question. I’m interested in the responses….
