Say ‘No’ to Strangers – How to Teach Children to Deal with Stranger Danger (Refers to: ‘911’) – USA/Canada

This curriculum-friendly eBook has everything you need to teach children, (aged 4-9 years), how to deal with ‘stranger danger’ (especially if they are alone). Use this simple 3-step teaching technique to successfully teach children how to be aware and automatically, confidently, and correctly take action instead of being helpless or the victim. Follow a process that empowers and enables children to be confident and capable of helping themselves, assisting others, and staying out of reach of child predators.

Step #1: Story Time (A Fun and Simple Introduction)

Step #2: Teaching Guide (Discussions and Practical Exercises)

Step #3: Learning Activities (Revision, Checklists, and Awards)

Included are:

Story Time: An exciting story adventure made up of 12 pages of rhyming couplets and color illustrations children can relate to that gently introduces a serious topic in a fun and simple way and demonstrates the basic steps to dealing with ‘stranger danger’ (through the character, Sue).

Teaching Guide: Preparation guidelines and detailed information to help prepare children and teach them the important things to remember when dealing with ‘stranger danger’ and that allow for discussions about the reason why they need to learn the important steps described in the story.

This useful guide helps you to teach children how to recognize the signs that there really is ‘stranger danger’ and about having ‘permission’ to make decisions (when alone), and includes scenarios to help children to know how to identify what is or is not ‘stranger danger’ (and who can be a 'stranger'). Children also learn about the role of family and community members; how to be brave, smart, and strong; the steps to take to get clear of a child predator; and what can happen to a child involved in ‘stranger danger’ if nothing is done about it.

The Teaching Guide includes practical exercises and basic step-by-step role-playing guidelines to help you teach children the physical steps and reinforce what has been taught so they can learn what to say and clearly and logically think, focus, stay calm, and keep going. A child can pretend to deal with a ‘stranger’ on their own and experience what ‘stranger danger’ might be like in real life while you physically see whether he or she understands and can correctly identify a ‘stranger danger’ situation and automatically remember and action each step.

The guide also includes Teaching Checklists, each includes ten (10) vital points to check off to help you know whether a child knows what action to take and so you are certain that the child really can remember and follow each step through and act quickly and effectively (without prompting), and feels safe and confident using these vital new life skills.

Learning Activities: Fun learning activities to reinforce what has been taught through letters, numbers, spelling, vocabulary, shapes, colors, writing, drawing, sorting, and matching. Select individual pages to meet different learning needs; select and laminate individual pages as reminder posters; use selected pages as flashcards; print activity pages for an individual child or a whole class.

Children learn how to be assertive, what to say and do, and all the important details that they need to know and remember if faced with ‘stranger danger’. Complete the process with the Brave, Smart, and Strong Award to present each child a personalized laminated award when you know that all the above comes automatically to them. Contact details for further information, resources, and vital support services are also included.
