36. Why is it important to state safety rules and guidelines in positive and simple terms?
ANSWER:
Rules stated in a positive manner inform children about how adults expect toys and
equipment to be used safely. When rules are stated negatively, children only learn what they
must not do. Rules and guidelines stated in simple, clear terms help children begin to
understand the concepts of safety and safe behavior.

40. When pets visit or become classroom residents, what special precautions must be taken?
ANSWER:
Teachers should first check to be sure children don’t have allergies to animals. Animals must
be free of disease and be immunized. Some animals, such as birds and turtles, carry diseases
that can be transmitted to humans and should not be part of classrooms. Instructions for the
animal’s care should be posted near the cage. An adult should be assigned to oversee the
animal’s care. Children and adults must always wash their hands after touching or feeding the
animal(s).

41. What steps can teachers take to minimize their risk of being accused of negligence?
ANSWER:
Prevention is the most important step teachers can take to minimize their risk of negligence
charges. They must be familiar with children’s developmental skills and abilities, implement
safety precautions in classrooms and outdoor play areas, provide appropriate and continuous
supervision, and seek legal advice when developing program policies. In addition, teachers
should pay careful attention to job descriptions, understand the expectations associated with
their position, and have the required qualifications and training. It is also a wise decision to
obtain legal counsel if ever accused of wrong-doing and to purchase personal liability
insurance.
