1. Fill in your details
2. Key Safety Questions
“Our pediatrician gave us this checklist to use for new playdates — do you mind if I run through a few quick things?”
Supervision: Will an adult be watching them at all times?
Safety: Are there any unsecured firearms or medications in the home?
Water: Is there a pool or hot tub, and is it secured?
Media: What are the house rules on YouTube or online gaming (Roblox, etc.)?
Why use a safety checklist?
In 2026, intentional parenting is about connection and clarity. Asking about firearms, supervision, and water safety isn't about being "difficult" — it is about keeping your child safe and giving your host parent the information they need to be a great caregiver for the afternoon.
This Boutique-style printable gives you a professional, gentle way to start the conversation. It includes both a full checklist for your peace of mind and a small info card to leave with your host.
