I know in this case we specifically referencing speaking with strangers online. I generally agree with everything that’s been said there.
However there’s a lot of parents who extend no speaking to strangers in the physical world and I thought it was wiring mentioning: I’m teaching my kids that it’s perfectly safe, polite, and expected to talk to strangers. Everyday we encounter strangers on the street or in a store. What if a child needed directions or help? That would most defiantly be an acceptable time to talk with a stranger. However, I am also teaching my kids that they should never go anywhere with a stranger to be touched by one. Hope that gives a new perspective to a parent out there teaching their kids that they should never speak to strangers.
- pergadad 7y agoI guess some parents would feel that their child will more easily resist a lure if they don't even connect with a stranger. It has to be quite some wise 6-year-old to resist the "this puppy needs your help" pitch. On the other hand, most threats of abuse are not from strangers but rather relatives or friends of the parents.
