Safety Tips For Children Traveling Alone & Abroad
Worried about keeping your kid safe when he or she is traveling alone? It can certainly be a scary prospect. At kajeet, we’ve come up with a few helpful hints you may want to consider before preparing your kid for a solo travel adventure.
1. Give your kid a cell phone. This way, you can always keep in touch and stay connected throughout the journey. Plus, a cell phone is essential in case of an emergency. With a kajeet cell phone, you can use your free parental controls to make sure calls to mom and dad always go through.
2. Make sure that important numbers are preprogrammed in your kids cell phone. Your kid should have all emergency contacts saved in the cell phone’s address book, just in case.
3. Use GPS to follow your kid’s travels. A service like kajeet’s GPS Phone Locator can help reassure parents that their kid has arrived at his or her designated location safely, and as scheduled.
4. Check your kid’s cell phone coverage to see if international calls can be made and/or received. If the phone won’t work abroad, give your kid an international calling card to facilitate use.
