Do you tell your children not to talk to strangers?

i have n chlidren as of this moment but i always tells that to my nieces and nephews - never talk to strangers!

Iam not married.but surely yes, in future, i will not allow my children to tslk to strangers, as you cant trust on your relatives today so how could you trust on a strange person......isn't it

My soon to be three year old is way to friendly, he'll talk to anyone, anywhere I need to start teaching him that now.

i dont have a child yet...im just a teen ager...

yes i think i will tell my kids so.

Safety comes first. Especially now a days with all the stuff that's going on. I'd rather her come off snobby and be safe, then be friendly and get taken. If you're right with her then she should be nice.

I have always told my kids to be polite to everyone and at least smile and then quickly look away. I have also taught them that if they dont feel comfortable about someone to stay away. I also have told my kids that if we are in a store and they ever get seperated from us to find some one in a store vest or uniform and to let them know that they have lost there parents. I make it a point to make shure they know what the vest or uniform looks like when we walk into the stor so they know what to look for if they ever get lost.

i thin yeah..but the way we hav to convence shul b pretty manner...

They don't need to speak to everyone that approaches them , they won't be snobby, just remember to not let them fear too much, that can be mor damaging. You should teach them to be wary, and watch for signs of suspicoious people.

yes in days world its difficult 2 trust known people let alone strangers

strangers and i use to talk to them about boundaries with anybody. A lot of children get harmed by people they know.

I tell them not to talk to strangers, but I talk to strangers all the time.. I'm a people person, and I hope my boys will eventually be too..

i will when i have some

My 10 year old son is very talkative. He knows it is safe to talk to people he doesn't know if he is with me. He knows that when he is old enough to be alone that he shouldn't talk to strange adults. There really isn't a reason for a child to be talking to an adult. Talking to other children is fine.

we tell them not to run up to them or goanywhere with themor talk to themif they are incars or alone but if they are close to us i think it is ok because everyone young and old need may need a smile a kind word once in awhile

You have to teach your children not to talk to strangers. In fact, child safety programs teach that you should have a code word just between you and your child so if I stranger comes up and wants to get too close and doesn't know the password, your child knows to get away from that person. Does your community have a program that operates through the sheriff's office? If it does, I would recommend that you arrange for them to do the program with your children and others you know. They teach them what to look for in a suspicious stranger and how to react if something were to happen.

yes

i don't allow my kids to speak with strangers 'cause im afraid .Anything can happen!

I do not allow my kids to talk to strangers. In this and age. It isn't safe. Even when had a male person staying with us. That we hardly knew. Except he was living with my niece and her fiance when their house burnt down. (We took all three of them in) I still took precautions to make sure my daughter was never left in the same room with him alone. Not even for a mintue. Sorry I had no idea who he was....When it comes to trust with my kids. People have to earn it. If people say I am snobby because of it. Let them...At least I know my kids are safe.

i don't hv any children!!!but still yes...i ll tell him not to talk tl strangers
