Teaching kids about "tricky people" vs. stranger danger


Instead of teaching kids to never talk to strangers, teach them about a "tricky person." A tricky adult asks a child for help; a safe adult would not ask a child for help. A tricky person asks a child to keep secrets from their parents, etc. Seems more practical and gets the child thinking about the situation rather than an anonymous "stranger danger." Saw it in an article and thought I would share. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2965zJ9
