Understanding Child Safety
If you're anything like me, you ask yourself, as a parent, whether you are doing all you can to keep your children safe. You read about and hear stories about how other children are being assaulted, abducted, and worse. You have taught your children "the rules," But, is it enough?
The truth is that simple rules like, "never talk to strangers," are inadequate for the real dangers of Today's often unsafe world. And the fact that children learn the rules for completely different reasons than those we have for teaching them in the first place...
...makes the problem even more severe.
What?
You didn't know that?
You didn't know that, while you taught your children the child-safety rules, like "Stranger-Danger" and the like, so they'd be safe, that they weren't learning them for the same reason?
Well, you're not alone. Not even close to being alone!
Did you know that...
If we're to keep out children safe - if we're to take child safety more seriously than simply teaching our kids the same rules about "not talking to strangers" that everyone else is teaching and that crime statistics clearly show do not work, we need to educate ourselves as to the real problems and the solutions that do work.
Being a parent, a good one anyway, isn't just providing food, clothing, and shelter to our children, it's being an educator, mentor, and protector as well.

Did you know that...
- 10=out-of-10 kids WILL go with the right stranger with the right story?
- 90 - 95% of children who are abducted by strangers, KNOW the stranger rules?
- Stranger rules are useless if the abductor is someone the child KNOWS?
And... - Children, especially young children, have no idea why child-safety rules are important because they EXPECT mommy and daddy to be there to protect them?
In fact... - Most young children who go through my child-safety program, when asked to describe what a "bad-stranger" looks like, describe a monster that DOES NOT EXIST!
