Teach your kids to be respectful of strangers - and respecftul of themselves - we all need to practice the comfortable NO. None of us should feel pressured by what someone offers, ostensibly out of kindness or supposed interest in our well-being. Saying NO THANKYOU is a skill as much as kicking a ball into the soccer goal - it must be practiced. Let the kids learn this throughout their experiences at home. A NO does not need to be understood to be respected.
Watching a congressional hearing on voter ID laws the other day I heard various opponents trying to explain why voter ID laws were inherently racist. The only answer those questioned could come up with was - it's racist based on its INTENT.
The same theory of INTENT defining purpose is used by pedophiles grooming victims.
