Discussion Questions

1. How do you see yourself? Are your actions, behaviours, and words similar to the characters and/or people that you saw in the attached pictures, storybook(s) and/or video(s)?

2. Would you change how you usually act or behave, or the things you say when being asked to follow rules for the safety of yourself and others?

3. What actions, words or behaviours should someone follow when it comes to obeying safety rules? Is it okay to think about your safety and the safety of others before doing anything that could be unsafe? Is it okay to get help from an adult first to find out if something is safe or not? Is it okay to sometimes take small risks even if it might be a little bit unsafe? What safety rules do you sometimes break? Do you believe that while other people might get hurt, it will probably never happen to you so taking risks that are dangerous is okay to do?
