    About this ebook

    It’s amazing how little young children know about strangers and how to stay safe. And much of what they do know is incorrect, or simply intended to scare them.
    Kids want and need to know what to DO in dangerous situations, but are usually only told to what NOT to do. (Don’t talk to strangers; don’t get in the car with strangers, etc.) Even the multitude of children’s picture books about strangers (most aimed at the 8-12 year old age group) often fail to teach kids what they CAN do if they find themselves confronted with a stranger.
    Stranger Danger - How to Talk to Kids About Strangers is different. It is a how-to book is for parents and caregivers of children ages 3-8. Using techniques developed over decades of teaching young children, author Kristi Porter takes into consideration the unique thinking, and learning styles of this younger age group, offering parents a new way to talk to their kids about strangers without scaring them.
    This easy to read, step by step guide gives parents age appropriate words and activities to use with even the youngest of children. Covering everything from who is a stranger, to when and how to fight back, Stranger Danger - How to Talk to Kids About Strangers is a must read guide for today’s parents.

      A Note to Parents

      While statistics show that children are in more danger from those they know than from strangers, as a preschool teacher for over twenty years, it has been my experience that both parents and children continue to fear stranger abductions the most.

      Thus Stranger Danger - How to Talk to Kids About Strangers is deliberately kept very narrow in scope, providing the essential elements for creating a framework of safety while maintaining the young child's feeling of security in the world. It is aimed at parents and caregivers of children ages 3-7, and is meant to be the beginning of an ongoing discussion between parents and children about the importance of personal safety.

      In the following pages I will give you the tools you need to talk openly with young children about strangers and personal safety, without frightening them. Using a series of short, parent-child sessions spread out over the course of several days, I’ll show you how to teach your child to stay safe, as well as how to help even the youngest of children learn how to handle tough situations. These tools are aimed at giving kids the knowledge and confidence to know what to do, and who to trust in a variety of different situations.

      Young children learn best through play, and the methods used in this book are designed to be fun for the child. Each parent-child discussion or exercise should last no longer than 15-20 minutes. Most importantly, parents should put away their ‘parent voice’, and strive for more of a light-hearted, sometimes silly, and almost conspiratorial approach with their kids.

      Keeping kids safe is a serious matter, but teaching children the skills they need to stay
