We’re approaching the end of summer, and a new type of busy is upon us, a type away from the cottage and road trips to far off beaches to the regular life of watching over children or grandchildren as they now enter school. Letting your tween or teenager stay home from school can be a lesson in trust.

So that you feel secure (hey, that’s what we do), we’ve prepared some tips to make that transition easier:

Doors should be locked when opened, as soon as it’s closed behind them, and as soon as they enter the code in your security system.
A friendly and trusting neighbor should be used as a safe space in case your child does not feel safe.
Front doors should never be opened, if a person needs to come in, they will have a key.

Keep in mind, that with Alcom, you can see when your child leaves and enters via your phone. Viewing this history ensures that your children are safe as well as honest. We hope you have a great back to school season, as we enter into fall.
