Grandparents are uniquely involved and invested in the lives of their grandchildren and play a vital role in shaping their grandchildren’s lives. According to Rail Aware, LLC, grandparents can set the scene for railway safety discussions by starting with a casual conversation, using relatable examples and visuals, and teaching key safety points such as staying off the tracks, observing warning signs and signals, and keeping a safe distance.
According to Rail Aware, LLC, grandparents can also reinforce these lessons with repetition and practice. Some of this reinforcement might include watching a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rci8oQxm3J0) on railway safety together, signing up for training through https://railaware.org/, and practicing safe behaviors near railroad tracks in real life.
“By teaching the importance of railroad safety, grandparents can contribute to reducing accidents and saving lives,” said a spokesperson for Rail Aware, LLC. “With a casual approach, relatable examples, and consistent reinforcement, grandparents can effectively instill a lifelong safety awareness that leaves a lasting impact on their grandchildren’s well-being around trains and tracks.”
