There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood.But the first step to keeping your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.

Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry.It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”，or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar，but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down.It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.

But you shouldn’t just know what they look like.The next step is to know them well.What do they do?How do they act?You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood，but are you OK with them being on the playground?Knowing your neighbors solves several things.First you find out what kind of people they are.This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area that they gather.Let’s face it：you don’t want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse(咒骂)or hit each other.Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.

Knowing them also makes them know you.Being neighbors is an interesting thing.You might not like them or have the same views as them，but we all usually protect those that we consider our own.If you know your neighbors，they know you.They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick(砖)house，than the people，in the house on the corner，that no one ever sees.
