While many new parents have been there before, be it with their own children or a friends (or relative’s child) parenting classes really can still make a huge difference.

Christmas is one of the most awaited time of the year. This is the season that you can have fun with your family without thinking of your work. This is also the time that we go to the mall with our family and buy gifts for friends and relatives. All the excitement makes you lose track of your child in the hustle and bustle of holiday shoppers. The following are no-panic rules that will help you find your child quickly:
Speak up! – Don’t waste your time searching store aisles yourself – alert security immediately or go the information counter for them to announce that your child is missing. You can also teach your child to find a safe adult (such as cashier, guard or a mother with kids) and say, “can you help me find my mom”
Remind your child to stay in the area – Tell your child before you go the mall that she should never leave the store, go out to the parking lot by herself or with someone that she doesn’t know.
Teach names and numbers.- Help your child memorize your address and phone number or you can place a card with your information written on it inside her pocket.
Carry a photo. – Keep your child’s picture in your wallet or purse. Note his height and weight on the back, and update often. If you’re consistent on reminding your child of all the rules, it will be easy for her to do it. Happy shopping!
