This is where I really appreciate how Kidpower teaches kids about safety with strangers. They focus on the positive while making sure kids are equipped to make wise decisions when a person or situation is not safe:

- a stranger is someone you don’t know

- most strangers are good

- the safety rules for strangers are to check first with your grown-ups before talking to, going with, or getting something from a stranger

- for kids who are old enough to be out and about on their own, checking first changes to thinking first, i.e. evaluating the situation

- if you are having an emergency where you can’t check first, you can get help from a stranger without needing to check first
