Safety First
The Medicine Safety Rule
Hero Shield Rule
Only a trusted grown-up can give you medicine!
Parents, guardians, school nurses, and doctors know the safe amount.
1
STOP!
Never touch or taste unknown pills, syrups, or packages.
2
DON'T TOUCH!
Some medicines look like candy, but they are NOT candy!
3
TELL GROWN-UP!
Quickly inform your teacher, nurse, or parent right away.
Who is one trusted adult at home? Who is one trusted adult at school?
Hero Power
Your Superhero Voice
Hero Skill #3
Saying "NO THANK YOU!" is a Superpower!
When something feels unsafe, unhealthy, or wrong, use your hero voice.
1. Stand Tall
Put your feet flat, shoulders back, and look confident like a hero!
2. Speak Clear
Say in a firm, kind voice:
"No thank you, that is not safe!"
3. Walk Away
Walk over to a teacher or trusted friend and join a fun game!
Let's practice together: Stand tall and say loud and clear: "No thank you! I choose to be safe!"
