A Unique Family Board Game Experience
CHILD SAFETY
​
Children rely on adults to help them with many things. Their innocent trusting nature is sweet, but parents also need to teach children to be safe. Good family rules to follow include: make sure a parent knows where you are at all times and don’t reveal personal information to strangers.
HOME ALONE SAFETY
​
If you determine that your child is responsible enough to be home alone after school, brief them on these rules:
1. Have an emergency plan
2. Always check in
3. Is your child allowed to leave the house?
4. Are they allowed to use the phone?
FIRE SAFETY
​
Did you know that if a fire starts in your home you may have as little as two minutes to escape? Early warning from a working smoke alarm plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced can save lives. Precautions in the home and teaching how to escape a fire can help.
WEATHER RELATED SAFETY​
​
Every Region suffers from some sort of Weather Related Emergencies. Making an Emergency Plan for your Family to follow can be invaluable. Teaching your children how to react to an Emergency if they are at home or away from home can mean the difference between life and death.
Let's Chat is a board game that encourages the parent to discuss emergency situations with their children in a fun, friendly environment, from a very young age so that as they grow older you have built a very solid foundation of information as to how to be safe in the unique set of circumstances that your child faces on a daily basis. You also have the opportunity to develop an environment where your child feels comfortable in "chatting" with you about everything that they face in these impressionable years. Because you have been playing "Let's Chat" with your children for years, your child will realize that talking with their parent about these subjects is acceptable and non-threatening. It can even be FUN!
​
Let's Chat is unique in the fact that it literally grows up with your child. When your child is younger you are creating an an open communication atmosphere approaching serious issues in a delicate manner and as they get older you are able to expand upon the serious issues with age appropriate conversations. Certainly your conversation with a 5 year old will be different than with a 10 year old. But all the while, you are building a knowledge bank of information on serious issues your child may have to face.
​
Because every family has different dynamics, Let's Chat gives you the opportunity to discuss these issues in a way that is best suited for your individual family. While school may address these issues, they are addressed in such a generic way that it may not be suitable for your family with it's unique set of circumstances.
​
Open communication between a parent and child can be the most effective way of shaping your child's growth and future. But in many cases parents do not know how to talk with their child about such important topics without making it sound scary or even worse, a lecture. Let's Chat takes away the awkwardness of these subjects and puts them in a very "matter of fact" way. And because your child will love playing the "Let's Chat" board game with you, you have the opportunity to reinforce what you have taught them.
​
Todays environment that our children live in is very different, in many cases, as to the environment we lived in. No longer is addressing serious issues with your children in their teen years acceptable. Data also shows that children learn from repetition, and in an emergency situation you want your child to know right away, without hesitation, how to react to a serious issue. Hoping that your child will know how to react is not good enough.
​
​
Teaching children how to react during Emergency situations can be the key to surviving an emergency. Data shows that children learn an extraordinary amount of lessons through repetition. While playing "Let's Chat" with your children you are given the opportunity to teach these Emergency Plans to your children making it "second nature" to them in the event of an emergency. Hoping that they remember because you talked about it once or twice is not good enough.
Every Region and every family faces different circumstances. You have the chance to discuss with your child your unique issues and prepare an Emergency Plan that works for you. While school may address these issues, they are discussed in such a generic way that the solutions they teach may not work for you.
"Let's Chat" addresses Emergency situations with questions like:
-Should you ever keep secrets from your parents?
-Should you ever give out your personal information, such as Names, Address or Phone Number to strangers?
-What do you do in case of a fire?
​
You then have the chance to discuss these issues with your child in a safe, secure, and comfortable setting. And with answers and solutions that fit your family!

How To Play Let's Chat:
The greatest thing about how this board game is set up is that everything begins and ends at HOME, where it should. The players pick a card which has a question on it, at that point you "chat" about the question and the answer, then move the appropriate number of spaces. There are no right or wrong answers, only the opportunity for you to "chat" with your child about how your family feels it is best for the issue to be handle
