Don talk lostrangers Is the standard warning from fearful parents to their children as the prepare them for life on the street away from the safe borders or home But it Is advice that is virtually useless says the author of a book on how to teach children to handle trouble when it comes along According to Rick people have to deal with strangers every day and it is ludi crous to think you can or even should isolate children from them If you didnt talk to strangers you would have a hard time getting through life he explained to a group of concerned parents at the Georgetown Library Wednesday night who along with authored a book entitled A Parents Guide to Children said parents should skip dishing out quick advice and instead teach kids lo spot and avoid suspicious topic and situations Preparation is the peopl key As soon as children ore old enough to step out on the street parents should discuss and rehearse how to cope with troublesome situations so that the children are well pre pared the real thing comes along We think because rehearse what could go wrong on the street we fill them with paranoia he stated when in fact it is quite normal for kids be taught bow to handle emergencies without Tear fire drills in school for example Encourage children to trust their own gut instincts he suggested If a person or activity makes them feel creepy explain that it is right for them to walk away They have to put up with it he main tamed He noted lhat when kids want to go some where with somebody they should make a point of asking permission from their parents first Typically said Gossage people with devious intentions want to re main anonymous and will avoid children who Insist on telling their parents what they are doing and with whom was careful to point out that children should follow rule even If the person who approaches them is somebody they know like a relative or Two thirdsoflhetlme children who arc harmed are familiar with the culprit Children should be taught to establish body boundaries or private area Gossage suggested those parts of the body covered by a bathing suit as an example of a body boundary and explained that kids should be taught to defend their sense of privacy It is rare for children to be grabbed off their feet by wouldbe abductors but if this happens children have to react to mediately by screaming and squirming to get free Studies have shown that those who resist have the best chance to getting out of danger by scaring off the culprit he said Only a parent would walk the length of a store with a screaming child in their arms he added Parents should also tell their children how to get hold of them when they are away from home Gossage advised that kids should never open the door to strangers when heir parents are away or say that their parents t home When callers ask to speak to them a child should politely explain that their parents arc busy and ask to take a message To be prepared if a child ever goes missing a parent should always keep In mind what they axe wearing and be able to provide an accurate description of them Parents should also be aware of how to con tact their children friends to help track the child down Most of all parents should be prompt In trying to locate a missing child Police will tell you the first minutes are invaluable stated Gossage The lecture on was part of the library Focus on Children Series and was presented by the Block Parents Association Halton Regional Safety Council and the Hills Public Libraries Pa cuts possible Supply teachers on the warpath by VicMncBournle supply
