PLPT: Establish a code word or phrase with your child for them to discreetly let you know that they need you to get them out of a situation.

Whether they might be in danger or they just need an excuse to go home.I did this with my parents growing up, and intend to do it with my kids. It came in handy several times when I was uncomfortable and needed to be pulled out without drawing attention to it. For me, it was "I have no idea when I'll be home." It's a phrase that wouldn't sound out of place in a conversation with my parents, but if I used that exact phrase, it meant "please come get me" via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/30CIWUX
