What if one of your kids gets lost in a theme park? What do you do? And even if they tell someone what their name is, would that someone know how to spell it? Would they be able to work out how to find us?
A Californian police department has shared a great idea on their Facebook page.
They recommend you write your phone number on your child’s wrist and cover it with liquid band aid in case you get separated. The liquid band aid stops the ink from washing away.
That way, if your child get’s lost or left behind there’s a quick and easy way for someone to get in touch with you and let you know where your child is.
#TipOfTheDay– Taking your young child to a big event, theme park, or other busy location? Write your phone number on their wrist and cover it with liquid band aid in case you get separated. Also, take a photo of them using your cell phone the morning of the event so you have their clothing, hair style, and up to date photo. #BePrepared
We posted this tip a few months ago and it was one of our most popular ever, so we decided to post again! Please #share this post with parents who have children.Thanks to https://

They also recommend taking a photo of your child on your mobile before you head out so you’ve got an up to date photo of them, and you have a record of what they’re wearing. This will help authorities track down your lost little one.
The chances that something, the worst nightmare of any parent I grant you, will go wrong are low. My guess is that my kids are most likely to be distracted by a cake shop and absent-mindedly wander away while I’m not looking. But being prepared for any eventuality is definitely worth it.
