The situation all parents fear is abduction - especially when on the way to & from school - where we may not always know where they are.
Tips to teach kiddies:
If someone in a car asks directions - move away from the car & yell if necessary
If a car is following you slowly - run in the opposite direction. You can turn quicker than they can
Your Address & mobile phone number
Where safe houses are
To go into a shop
To SCREAM at the top of their voice - WORDS: 'that hurts' is always good
To be aware of their environment - the cars, people, houses etc on their trip
To occasionally (by agreement with parents) to change their route
To trust their danger feelings
To ride a bike.
Have a code word - that only you and your kids know - agree that if someone has to pick them up other than you - they will say the code word. The dogs name is a good one for small kids.
