How it works
At home, ask a grown-up first, and leave stoves and plugs to them.
When the doorbell rings, we do not open the door by ourselves. We find a grown-up.
If we need help, we call out. A grown-up is near.
Worked examples
The doorbell rings
- Ding dong! Kit stops playing and listens.
- He walks to find his grown-up. He does not shout or run.
- He says, 'Excuse me, the doorbell rang, and someone is at the door.'
- He waits while his grown-up looks out of the window and opens the door.
A hot stove
- Kit asks, 'Can I help?'
- His grown-up says, 'Yes, but the stove is hot, so that job is mine.'
- Kit stays well back and does a safe job instead, like setting out bowls and spoons.
A plug on the wall
- Dot asks, 'Can I plug in the toaster?'
- The grown-up says, 'Not yet. Plugs are for grown-ups to handle.'
- Kit keeps his paws well away from sockets and cords.
Needing help
- Kit's grown-up is next door.
- Kit calls out if he needs them.
