Herald photo Children must think in danger situations says author Gossage By BRIAN McLEOD Herald Special The Halton Regional Police Force hosted a proofing seminar in Burlington last Thursday for Cnme Prevention Week The emphasis was on youth with workshops on child molestation alcohol abuse and Mr Richard Gossage author of A Parents Guide to Streetproofing Children waa on hand to offer his advice to parents and police officers Mr Gossages philosophy Is to educate children In a positive manner Instead of making rules for every situation he says that children should be taught to look themselves better They feel that If you dont fallow a certain rule something will happen to you We say that you must look both ways before crossing the street or you will get run over Instead we should say look both ways In order to cross the street safely he explained Discussion Is Mr Gossage s main tool If you dont discuss it with your children you dont know If they agree with you that they agree and that it makes sense he said Mr thinks that teenagers are the most vulnerable They are at the age when they want to demonstrate own independence They do that by acting as adults and adults usually do not set good examples of street proofing he said Teenagers must learn to pay attention to their own clues rather than their own peer groups said Mr Mr Gossage s pet peeve Is dont talk to strangers Children do talk to strangers he said He cited an example when a reporter ventured onto a playground to talk to several children about recent death of one of their friends All but two of kids talked to that reporter he said Children have to be taught hat nice people behave in certain consist ent ways and bad people will usually put them under pressure he explain ed Mr Gossage feels that if children are taught that there la always time to check back with their parents then a large part their problems will be solved Kids have great Instincts they must leam to trust them he said DENTURE
