In this fast world we have to leave our kids exposed to more strangers.And we can't believe them all to behave properly with little kids.News about children being sexually abused can be seen here and there.Have you taught your child about this and guided them how to react and escape?

Hi srganesh,
I love my children very much or maybe very protective to them. They are 7 yo and 4 yo now. The older already in elementary second grade now. From his 5 yo until now i always drive to his school and pick him up after school. automatically his sister always come with me every day i go. after at home i always lock my gate house. My children can playing around at the gate. As a fee i bought much toys for my children so they never asking to playing out the house. Of course i always tell them to stay away to stranger people that they not know, even they know that people, they are not allow to pick up my kid home. Just only me can pick up my kid.

That is good caution you maintain for the safety of your child.We need not allow strangers to mingle with ,until they are grown adults to weigh the good and bad.Until then we have to take care and at the same time engage them towards good hobbies.You can tell about some precautions they should maintain a little after.

We are teaching our toddler not to go with strangers or take anything from strangers, if we aren't around to say it's ok. We also are teaching him to tell us if anyone hurts him or touches him and makes him feel bad. Right now we ar just teaching him the basics to tell mommy or daddy if anything bad happens, As he gets a little older we will add more detail to the conversation.

That is too early to teach a toddler about this,I think.On the other hand,thinking of some existing perverts who don't even leave little kids,you are right.I just can't imagine wherein these perverted people get their ideas.Why can't they get satisfied in a normal way like others?

hi srganesh yes we taught our son as a small kid not to go with any stranger, and if ever we had to send a neighbor or friend to get him at school, the friend or neighbor would have to give our son this code, ROb, ok. Robbie was his first name, and the okay meant that we had sent this person to pick up our son in case he might not know the person we trusted to pick him up. But we did not envision that the first grade speech therapist would want to take our son to the park to work with his speech therapy. so we did not give the code to the therapist. so of course although our son had met him once, he did not really know him so when he did not give Robbie the code, our son refused vehemently to get in his car. so he had to phone us, then my husband told him the code and also Asked to speak to our son so Robbie would know the man was safe. my husband did worry a bit about the male therapist but the school super said he was safe as he had been screened thoroughly.
