I haven't fully taught her yet, but she has a learning phone that says "in an emergency, dial 911", but how do you teach her an emergency??

I did recently introduce her to a police officer because she thought they only put bad guys in jail (I watch too much COPS Chat Icon ). So I wanted her to learn that she can go to a Police Officer if she needs help and they are safe.

I started teaching DD this at age 3...we had a book that explained different types of emergencies with a little phone attached to it that made the child dial 911 after each paid they read.

What a great idea, do you remember the name of the book or where you got it?

I think we have the same book.

We started shortly after age 2. Although, until recently they only wanted to dial 9-1-1-1.

The book is:
"It's Time To Call 9-1-1: What to do in an emergency"
