PROTECT YOUR KIDS WITH A SAFE WORD
Do you use a safe word with your kids? If not, this your guide to get started.
What are safe words for kids?
Safe words are code words kids can use to discretely signal to their parents or to confirm someone is parent-approved. Choose your safe word with your kids. Stay away from things people outsiders can guess, like names of family members.
When and how are safe words used?
Kids can use safe words in two situations:
- They are at a sleepover, party, or other social situation where they feel uncomfortable and want to return home.
- You can’t pick them up and send someone else like a family friend or neighbor, your child should ask them for the safe word before coming along.
The x-plan for teens
The x-plan allows teens to text you a simple “x” to get picked up, with no consequences. If they use the “x”, you can’t ask questions or punish them. It provides a sort of “immunity” for teens who may feel shame or fear of judgement.

REMINDERS FOR PARENTS WHO SWORE THEY’D DO IT EARLIER THIS YEAR
- Summer camp signups are starting soon. Is it just us, or does this happen earlier every year? We love Sawyer for finding day-camps, but also check out your local zoo or museums.
- If you like seasonal jammies for your kids, get Valentine’s Day pjs now before they start selling out. We love the unisex options at Target, Hanna Andersson, and Little Sleepies.
- Girl Scout cookies are now available for sale. Find them near you here. And don’t hate us for reminding you.
