I never thought about teaching my boys who the "safe strangers" are they should approach in an emergency. I can see my four year old understanding "go to a mommy" better than look for a store person. Great post! Thanks so much!! K @ Raise Them Ups last blog post..Of Children, Strength, and Sponges

Great post. And thanks for the reminder about the 2-7 pm thing. That is terrifying. That's the time when my daughter wants to be outside riding her bike. Beckys last blog post..How To Clean a Toilet the Right Way

Those are fantastic tips. It is always a balancing act for me. It is hard to teach the kids to be outgoing and friendly and to enjoy life and not be afraid of the world, but to also teach them to be safe. We do talk about safety a lot, but I struggle with how to frame it so that it doesn't scare them to death. Thanks for the post! frugalisfabs last blog post..Join the Muir Glen Connoisseurs' Club

I keep thinking I want to get that safety video that the America's Most Wanted man made. (What's his name? Walsh? I'm tired.) Have you seen it? It's supposed to be good, but I haven't talked to anyone personally who has seen it. I wonder if this would be an appreciated stocking stuffer? hahaha They'd probably throw it aside with the dreaded "clothes"! =) Thanks for the good post. It's a subject I tend to avoid because it scares the crud out of me! Las last blog post..Recipe For Disaster
