Charles Shubin, M.D. states that at the ages of 4 and 5 children’s social skills and independence blossom, which makes it the appropriate time to talk to them about safety.  For a child’s safety, you must establish specific rules:

1. Choose your words and tone carefully (so they would not be scared  or misinterpret the conversation)

1. Ensure your explanation is not a threat

1. Keep on talking to children about their security

Possible Instructions

Instead of: Do not talk to Strangers

Say:                  Ensure you that you speak with your Mom and Dad before talking to another grown up.

Instead of: If you get lost in a store, asked an adult to help you find me

Say:                  If we are in a store and you can not find me, do not go outside, stay in the store and ask someone with a name tag to help you.

Instead of: Do not leave my sight

Say:                  Do not walk away from your mom and dad, so they cannot see you

Instead of: Do not keep Secrets

Say:                  Do not listen to anyone who asks you to keep a secret. Always tell your Mom and Dad what secrets you have.

Instead of: Do not talk candy from anyone

Say:                  Do not take anything from anyone except your parents or those your Mom and Dad say it is okay to.
