Organizing and Cleaning Tips and Hints

 Your office is a busy place; people come and go all day long, clients, fellow workers, maintenance people etc. People that you most often times, see on a daily basis and are free to enter when needed. You do not know anything about most of the people, their private lives, or what things they have done in the past or little quirks in their lives.

Having pictures of your family on your desk or displayed in your office is telling a predator what your children look like their approximate ages, color of hair a lot more.

If you have a landline, it also means that your name and address are in the telephone book, for anyone to see. The day will come when a cell phone number and address may be connected in the same way. Both of these ways, would make it very easy for someone to know where you live, what time you get home, when your children are there and no one else is at home.

Another area is newspaper clippings that show their picture, it gives everyone a face to identify with and they now know which children are yours.

Yes, you are very proud of them, but you have just told everyone where your children go to school. This makes it easy for them to be contacted without you knowing it, or to get a job at their school so they can watch them. Keep your family life, totally separate, from your work life. Protect your children and their identities from others to see. Do not display pictures, awards and information about them, that can make it easy for the predator, to contact them.

What are the chances of your children watching, closely, people that are following them?

What are your chances of your children knowing that a particular person is everywhere that they go?

We know that kids do not think that anything could happen to them, it is always to a friend of theirs or someone they know. Therefore, you have to take extra precautions and the first place to start is by organizing your office to protect them.
