Stranger safety should be taught to children just as they are taught about fire and water safety. Like any other kind of learning, stranger safety rules need to be reinforced through conversation, role playing, and repetition. Stranger Danger is a thorough program that shows parents and caregivers how to teach safety rules to children; how to help children recognize who is or isn't a stranger; where children can find safety zones if they are scared or in danger; and how to prepare children to become streetwise to potentially dangerous situations. The goal is to teach parents how not to scare children, but to prepare them. By knowing how to react to strangers, children could save their own lives in the event of an incident. This program is a must for anyone raising or caring for children. A Cambridge Educational Production. One 23-minute video.
