Question

my 5 yr old has a speech and fine moter skill developmentally delay and I need help trying to teach him saftey issues.

Answer 1

Don't just tell them "this is how it is because mommy says" make sure they know why. If they know the consequences of their actions they are more likely to act safely. EX: Don't cross the street with out me (but mom look at that dog, it will be gone before you cross!) ........why? because you can really get hurt that way if a car is comeing. Look how fast those cars are driving by, it would hurt terribly to be hit by one.

Answer 2

Explain it on their level. Use an example they would be able to grasp.
