You're not just scaring them with the horrible things out there, you're making them aware and providing them with knowledge. The boys and I have gone over that too; you run, you yell, you fight as best as you can.<BR/><BR/>This poor little girl and her family though, my heart goes out to them.Woman with Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097328663857446991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711314660374261745.post-66236293644349187362007-07-18T15:08:00.000-07:002007-07-18T15:08:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you posted this.

Not EVERY night, but several times a week I dream about stuff like this. Then I too walk the hallways to check on them in their sleep. <BR/><BR/>Even at 3 and 4 years old, I have been very blunt with them too. We've talked about this a lot. And anytime there is something happening in the news related to kidnappings, I bring it up in an age-appropriate way. We've had so many discussions about what to do if a stranger tries to take them, etc.<BR/><BR/>It makes me sick that <B>I</B> don't know self-defense. As soon as both girls are old enough, I want to enroll them in Aikido classes (me too).<BR/><BR/>Hubby is a pretty good shot, but I'm not. Just one more thing I need to find the time to get better at. Where on earth will I find the time to fit all this stuff in????? LOL <BR/><BR/>I love that all of your kids have cell phones at such a young age. I plan on doing the same thing when mine are old enough.<BR/><BR/>Great post.Green Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340007347253702714noreply@blogger.com
