Have you talked to the kids in your life?

As families come together for Thanksgiving it's a great opportunity to have a conversation with the teens in your family.



Please, please talk to kids about the Choking Game and how dangerous it is! Studies show that 1 in 4 kids know about it! That means that even if my chance your child doesn't, one of their friends certainly DOES.



A few more scary thoughts on this topic:




  • Kids are calling it THE CHOKING 'GAME'. Unless they are told about the dangers, they think it's a game.
  • 75% of parents DO NOT know anything about the Choking Game.

  • Every child is at risk until they are told about the consequences!

Have the conversation - it only takes a few minutes! Make this the day you are thankful to have your children safely by your side instead of trying to be thankful for memories of your child.
