Our head is beginning to hurt and mom is a sleep… instead of waking and asking her for some medicine, we look in medicine cabinet and find what appears to be aspirin she normally gives us… and we take it. This is defiantly a red light situation, because you could be taking wrong medicine and become very sick. But if you had just woke mom up and told her you had a headache, you would have stayed safely in green light.

Someone knocks on door of your house. Anytime this happens, as a child you need to understand that this is a yellow safety light and you need to proceed with caution. First you never open door unless you and your parents personally know person. Like a friend of family or a neighbor. If you do not know person, which means have you never seen your parents speak to this person, you never open door. Even if they say they are a policeman, fireman, or repairman. The decision that you should make to put yourself in green light, would be to go find your parents and let them open door. If you open door, you could be putting yourself in a red light dangerous situation. If your parents are not home you should never, never, open door for anyone. This is always a safety red light.

A person at school that is known to be a bully is standing at end of play ground. Knowing this your safety light immediately turns yellow. If you avoid that end of playground your light will return to green, if you go to that end of playground you may find your self in a safety red light.

By being aware of our surroundings and making smart decisions when we are in our yellow caution light, we can get back to our green safe light and avoid red danger light.

Remember, it is OK to be afraid when our safety light turns yellow. Fear is what helps our intuition and instincts work. We should always trust our instincts and listen to our little voice inside. Remember, our little voice is always right.”

Parents, by arming our children with mental safety so they can make quick, safe decisions, it gives them confidence and focus to handle any type of situation and safeguard them for future.
