She is so trusting and innocent. These should be good qualities, and it kills me that I have to teach her about the dangerous people.<BR/><BR/>My kids have learned SO much from the Safe Side Stranger Safety video by John Walsh. It gives them some definite guidelines without scaring them to death. The "Safe Side Super Chick" that hosts the video is super silly, but clear. Anyway, check it out!Real Life Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260734976398697990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518932771031403113.post-16647245404564981842008-06-03T21:11:00.000-05:002008-06-03T21:11:00.000-05:00Oh, my heart hurts for lost children.

I always hope that my girls understand the difference, but who knows?! :-(<BR/><BR/>(And I would be very scared of missing out on a brownie also....if I had been her, I would have insisted on eating it BEFORE I went in the store, just to be safe....)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150437151927940597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518932771031403113.post-82689165245171038482008-06-03T15:16:00.000-05:002008-06-03T15:16:00.000-05:00Great Ideals, great comments.

It works almost everytime it's tried....unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>You should also let her know that some strangers are good and can help her if she gets lost....like other mommies, for instance.<BR/><BR/>Don't mean to imply you haven't already told her these things.

Most of the time, they didn't. Scary!! They suggested to speak of these things often. There is always danger.<BR/><BR/>On a happier note, she did have the right idea about the brownie. She may not be blonde, but sometimes I think she really is realated to me!!Kimberlee Keehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572665766675555706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518932771031403113.post-63263458285337220032008-06-02T19:19:00.000-05:002008-06-02T19:19:00.000-05:00The thing that scares me the most.Seriously.

I worry that someday something will happen to mine. We've had half-hearted talks about not going with strangers but I guess I really need to do the full-blown things to make sure they really get it. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I'll stock up on brownies before hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
