Keeping your child safe
Teaching stranger awareness
What do you do if your child goes missing? Missing children are every parent's worst nightmare, but is the fear of it really rational and what is the affect on our children? Teaching stranger awareness in a positive and proactive way is a big step forward and there are different ways to approach this...
As parents we don't want to scare our children, while at the same time we cannot ignore the news. However there is a danger that our drive to protect our children may actually be harming them. Experts have begun to suggest that by restricting their experience of the world, and denying children the independence to make mistakes and learn from them, we are leaving them ill-prepared for the trials they will face as adults. The charity Missing People even suspects that some children may run away in order to experience the kind of independence they are denied at home.
It is hard to know what's best for our kids, but we shouldn't let our fear dictate the way we let our children play.
