Child Safety: Stranger Danger

Almost everyone has seen a child in tears, lost, walking around a store. It is a scary thought that it could easily be our own child, but the truth is that it happens. Children are easily distracted and next thing you know a brand new shiny toy grabs the attention of your child and she is gone. Because this scenario is not easily avoided, it is important to instruct your children ahead of time on what to do if he or she ever gets lost.

We came across an article that gives great advice on how to teach your child about strangers. It is typical to teach our children not to talk to strangers, but the article discusses the idea that our children may need to talk to a stranger, so there is a better way to teach our children to avoid the dangers of strangers. Instead of teaching your children to avoid talking to strangers, teach them to spot a mom with kids and tell her you are lost.

There are more tips and words of wisdom in this fantastic article. It is also a great idea to pass it along to anyone that may be responsible for your kids, such as your nanny, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or friends with children of their own.
