"I am Karina Fraley for Expert Village, I am a lifestyle expert and I'm also the official mom for the mommywood.com website. Today we're going to be talking about safety tips to help keep your family safe at theme parks. We're going to be talking both about regular theme parks as well as water parks which obviously carry with them their own set of concerns but you can still have a good time as long as you're careful to be safe. You really are from the very beginning of your day going to want to have a plan in place. If your children are old enough that they can wander off by themselves at any given point, you're going to want to have a plan to meet back, a plan if they get lost and some guidelines and rules that they're going to have to follow when they're on their own. If your children are younger, you also are going to want to have a plan of action if for whatever reason they get separated from you. You don't want children to panic and not already have some plan in place. It really does help matters if your children are lost or separated if you've already told them what to do and they already know what to expect. And obviously the most important thing to do is to assure your child that you will never leave wherever you are until you're reunited. You don't want a child ever leaving a location, not going with you, fearing that you've left without them, assure them that that will never ever be the case."
