4 Family Security Tips For Single Moms

• By ADS Security Guards

• As a single mother, ensuring the safety of
  your children whether you are at home or away is
  of paramount importance. Your home should always
  be a safe place for your family. Following tips
  can help you make sure that it remains this way.

Tip 1 Change The Locks

• Whether you are on good terms with your ex or
  not, it's still good practice to change the locks
  after the relationship ends. People can sometimes
  behave unpredictably, and the peace of mind of
  knowing your home is secure can't be beaten.

Tip 2 Consider Programmable Security

• A security system is the best way to keep
  your family safe. When looking at systems,
  consider the following features
• Programmable locks.
• These allow you to give out codes to the kids
  to gain access to the house. Since these are
  easier to change than the locks, lost keys aren't
  as much of an issue. You can also set temporary
  codes to give out to workmen or house sitters.

• Remote monitoring.
• Remote monitoring option allows you to check
  on the house while you are away, either via a
  computer or smart phone. This way you can verify
  that your kids made it home from school safely
  with a quick visual check.
• Emergency services.
• Security systems don't just guard against
  intruders. You can also have a system that calls
  in other emergencies, such as fires, or offers
  one button option for calling in an ambulance.
  This can be easier for some kids than dialing 911
  in a panic.

Tip 3 Manage Computer Usage

• Social media is becoming a bigger part of many
  people's lives, but you still need to be careful.
  Make sure both you and your children's privacy
  settings are dialed in tightly so that only
  trusted people can see your posts. Also, teach
  the kids not to share certain information
  online.Anything that allows others to know when
  the house is empty, when the kids are home alone,
  or your work and school schedule can lead to a
  break-in or worse. Keep conversations personal,
  such as checking up on the kids when you are
  away, off on social media. Instead, call them or
  send text messages.

Tip 4 Use Locator App

• Consider placing a locator app on everyone's
  smart phone. Although it is simple, this can
  provide necessary tracking when the kids aren't
  at home. You simply open the application on your
  phone and use it to locate your child's phone.
  Chances are they will be with their phone, so it
  will be easy to find them from there.

• There's no reason to live in fear as a single
  mom, but you do need to be prepared. Taking the
  steps now to manage your and your family's safety
  is not something that you will regret.
