Today Nathan came running into the house, hopping up and down he was so excited. He said "People are walking in front of our house! Can I go with them? They said I could!" I asked if we knew them, and he said "No, but that's OK."
We did go hustling out, and caught up with a grandmother from around the corner. She was out for a walk with her six year old grandson and three year old granddaughter. We walked back to their house and Nathan stayed and played for about an hour. Grant and Hannah stay with their grandmother every afternoon after school! We're very excited to meet new friends.
Nathan has always been so outgoing. I know that this is one of his strengths, but it does worry me. How do we warn him of the dangers around him without scaring him away from meeting new people? By the time I met our neighbor today, Nathan had already told her his name and all about our family.
A few months ago, we watched a news clip about Stranger Danger. They took three families and tested three different scenarios. While the parents watched from via hidden camera, reporters went in to lure kids away from their safe environment. In all three situations, the kids either went with the reporters or gave out personal information.
I think the most horrifying moment came when a five year old girl watched a strange man lead her two year old brother away. Then she went on playing by herself for five or six minutes before going to tell a parent that her brother had left.
