Be careful not to undermine the safety lessons you've taught your kids. Take these 3 precautions in mind:
1. Avoid talking to a child you don't know. Address the parent instead. Otherwise, your kid might think that it's okay for strangers to talk to them.
2. Even though it's cute, resist monogramming your child's name on his backpack or clothes. If a stranger addresses your kid by name, he may thinks he knows the person.
3. Don't push your preschooler to give a hug to anyone - even relatives. Children need to realize that it's okay to say "No" when they feel uncomfortable.
