Keeping Kids Safe When They Have No Stranger Danger
I looked at my toddler, smiled and said “It’s my job to keep you…”
“SAFE” she yelled with an ear to ear smile on her face.
From the moment my kids were born there was an inner shift. All of a sudden my only job was to keep them safe, loved and protected.
And they knew it.
I’d use this script starter to help them think about and make safe choices.
