Safe Places
All parents want their children safe from physical and emotional harm, and most parents seek to provide daily safeguards in the lives of their children. Furthermore, child safety is the number one priority of baby furniture companies, lawmakers who write child restraint laws for vehicles, recreation centers, schools, online companies, and others.
According to Every Child, Every Promise: Turning Failure into Action
- Only 37% of children and youth experience this promise of safety
- Between one-fourth and one-third of all young people never or only sometimes feel safe at school and in their communities
- Less than half of parents of children under 18 say that safe, affordable, high-quality after-school activities are available in their communities
These data begs the question, how could this be so if we, as a society, are making safety a priority? Somehow we fail for some children.
Let us look at the 3rd point of the survey results above regarding after school programs. A good constructive activity for after school hours is a reputable online tutoring company such as eTutorWorld. In the comfort of the home, a parent can be assured of physical safety with eTutorWorld. Our program also is an emotionally safe activity for students 5th through 12th grade. Developing a good teacher/learner relationship with one of our responsible online tutors is a high quality experience that not only helps children learn needed skills in a particular subject area, but also can help students make good decisions about their own behaviors as it relates to safety issues in virtual places. Our company promises a safe place for all our students and fosters the sense of security at all times. In addition, we comply with COPPA (Child Online Privacy Protection Act).
