Host: Mindy McCulley, MS Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, University of Kentucky Guest: David Weisenhorn, PhD Extension Specialist for Parenting and Child Development Season 8, Episode 36 Talking FACS host Mindy McCulley and guest Dr. David Weisenhorn discuss what to teach children about getting lost, drawing on personal stories and research. They cover how early to start, the importance of kids knowing their full name and parents' names, and other identifying strategies. Key safety tips include staying put so an adult can find the child, yelling or making noise to attract help, seeking out other parents or uniformed staff, and using identifiable clothing or bright colors for the family in crowded places. The episode also shares practical examples and encouragement for parents to practice these skills with their children.
