FREE KINDOS FAMILY SAFETY RESOURCE

Family safety & communication toolkit

Plan how your family checks in, verifies an unexpected request, and communicates respectfully. Print this plan for a family conversation—no account required.

1. Verify before you act

Choose a private family verification phrase offline and practice using it. Don't enter the phrase into this page, a shared device, or a public chat. If a caller claims there is an emergency, hang up and call your family member using a number you already know.

A codeword is one additional check, not proof of identity. For serious emergencies, verify through trusted contacts and appropriate emergency services.

We agreed on a verification method privately We know which trusted number to call back We will never send money or private details solely because of an urgent call

2. Family check-in expectations

We know when to send an arrival or departure check-in We know who to contact if plans change We know what to do if someone doesn't respond

Keep contact details on a secure printed or offline family emergency sheet, rather than entering them into public tools.

3. Messaging and quiet-hours agreement

Children know which contacts or groups are approved by parents Our family understands what should not be shared in messages We agreed on routine quiet hours and emergency exceptions We will tell a trusted adult about upsetting or suspicious messages
