Teachable moments

You emphasize to Ms. Wilson that the best way to handle a situation in which one of the households of Robin’s friends includes a firearm is to politely invite this friend to play at her own home, away from the potential danger. Although locking guns and keeping ammunition separate are good safeguards if a firearm is present, the best way to ensure Robin’s safety is to keep her out of environments in which any firearms are present. You ask Ms. Wilson if she feels comfortable using this information and plan of action.
Ms. Wilson states that she would like some information about child safety including safe storage of firearms. She would also like some written material on how to ask another parent if they have a gun in the home.

You schedule Robin’s next appointment for the following year, but encourage Ms. Wilson to call you if she has questions.
