I recently read an article about how the idea of teaching “stranger danger” to children is a bad idea because over 90% of child abuse cases take place at the hands of someone the child knows, NOT a stranger. My daughter is only 7 months old, so I have some time before I’ll be having this talk with her, but it’s something that’s already on my mind and I’m trying to develop a strategy. I’m interested to know, how did you handle this subject with your children? At what age was the first time you brought it up? How frequently did you re-visit the subject? Do you agree with the premise of the article I read, that parents shouldn’t put the focus on “stranger danger”? For parents whose children are a bit older now, are you happy with how you handled the subject or if you had a do-over would you handle it differently? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2aqocGT
