in par cular when no one else is around, let your parents know right away, and tell your parents the en re conversa on as best you are able to recall. Also if an adult is asking you a lot of ques ons, it should be a BIG REMINDER THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW YOU! Ehh, they are a stranger. RUN! There are other adults who are not total strangers; I call them Sort-ofknows. Sort-of-knows are people like your coach, neighbour, and friends' parents. Stranger Danger warning applies to Sort-of-knows too. Keep in mind also, that not because your parents are 'cool' means everyone parents’ are too. Ask your parents for the Safe-Adults who you can leave school with or open the door for if you are home alone. You must not decide who your Safe-Adults are. The other old saying is, 'it's be er to be safe than sorry,' so be very careful and wary of strange adults, and adults who are not on your parent's Safe Adult list who are being too friendly with you. Do not think that this is a nice person, for adults should be friends with adults, and children are friends with children.
