How to Teach a Child to Stop, Drop & Roll

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas with my wigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to share with you how to teach your kid how to stop, drop and roll. Now I know it may sound a little bit silly because it's self explanatory, but you'd be surprised how many don't know what to do. So what I would do is just definitely kind of talk to them about when it's necessary to use the stop, drop and roll. So of course you hopefully won't have to set them on fire or anything like that, but definitely explain to them that in case of a fire or catching on fire what they would do. Initially I would just show them, talk to them about stopping whatever they're doing, dropping to the floor, and rolling around as fast as they can until maybe they've put out the fire that may have caught on fire. Leading by example, I would just make it a fun process for them, and maybe start out by locating a small little hill to make it a fun little game of stop and go, and whatnot, but to show them the whole process of stop, drop, and roll."
