Identification Bracelet
This is something every kid should wear before going to crowded public places. If you are going to beach, park, shopping center… you should place an identification bracelet on your kid’s arm with some useful information: name, parents name and telephone number. If you don’t have one you can also write directly in your kids’ arm and apply a base coat nail polish on top to fix it.
