Just one blood, plasma or platelet donation can make a life-saving difference to the lives of many. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a regular, every donation counts! ❤️

New Zealand is currently short on donors, and to keep up with demand, is having to import blood products from overseas. So, if you can spare an hour (or slightly more) a few times a year, you’d be giving a priceless gift to those in need right here at home.

Let's support each other and those in need - you never know when a loved one may need it.

And remember our Emergency Cards and Tags have space to record your blood type, helping first responders act fast when it matters most!

5 Essential Tips for Parents as Kids Return to School and Travel Independently

Melissa from Emergency Cards Limited

As children return to school after the holidays, many will travel independently; walking, biking, scootering, or taking public transport.

Whilst this can be both an exciting and nerve-wracking time, encouraging independence helps children to build confidence and life skills.

As children return to school after the holidays, many will travel independently; walking, biking, scootering, or taking public transport.

Whilst this can be both an exciting and nerve-wracking time, encouraging independence helps children to build confidence and life skills.

‍Here are five tips for parents to help ease the process and ensure peace of mind.

1) Establish a Safe Route
Before school starts, take some time to practice the route with your child. Take the safest roads and pathways and be sure to cross over roads by using pedestrian and courtesy crossings, or at controlled intersections with traffic lights. Make sure they know key landmarks so they can easily navigate their way to and from school, and where they can safely go to, to ask for help if needed.
‍‍
2) Teach Stranger Safety
Have regular conversations about the importance of staying aware of their surroundings (people and vehicles), and how to respond to strangers if approached. Teach them about 'safe strangers' like other families with children their age, shop assistants, and others in your neighbourhood who they can approach if they feel unsafe.

3) Equip Them with Emergency Contacts
Ensure your child knows important phone numbers, including yours and any other emergency contacts. An Emergency Card or Tag is a perfect solution for this. It's durable and easily attached to the inside or outside of a school bag, providing them with essential details like emergency contacts and medical information if they need to give it to someone. In a stressful situation, children may struggle to remember phone numbers, so having them written down can provide reassurance and peace of mind.

4) Create a Check-In Routine
If your child has access to a mobile phone, set up a simple routine where your child checks in with you at certain points of their journey - like when they leave school to come home, reach a specific landmark, or arrive at school, this way, you know they're safe.

5) Empower Their Confidence
Independence is about building confidence. Encourage your child by supporting them to develop their own problem-solving skills. Remind them that they can handle situations by asking for help or using their Emergency Card or Tag if they need it.

Over time with your guidance, children can embrace the independence of navigating their own way to and from school while you have peace of mind.

An Emergency Card or Tag acts as an extra layer of safety, ensuring that in case of any unforeseen situation, your child has vital information accessible at all times, and you can be reached when needed.
