Strangers

Parents, teachers and other caregivers must teach children about the dangers of strangers without frightening them. Youngsters learn best by acting out situations. Practising safety skills increases their confidence and their ability to cope.

Talk to the child about the dangers of dealing with strangers

Be a good listener when the child tries to tell you something is not right

Teach the child the basics – home phone number, address and whom to ask for help

Make rules about where and when kids can play

Make sure the child understands the meaning of stranger

Always know at all times where the child is

Make your community a safer place to live for the children,
for now and for the future. Be Smart, Be Safe
