par 9- Not letting strangers know that their parents are away
Explain to your child that if there’s a call at the door yet no one can be seen through the peephole and no answer comes to the question « Who’s there? » he or she mustn’t open the door even the tiniest little bit to see what’s going on. Also, a child mustn’t let a stranger know that his/her parents are away – not even if the stranger claims to be their friend or says that he/she is a municipal worker. If a stranger is very persistent and starts trying to break in, the child must phone their parents or neighbors at once.
10- Avoiding meeting online friends in person
Warn your child that in today’s world criminals can find their prey online and that if someone on the Internet says it is « Mike Next Door », that person might not be. Not necessarily the 10-year-old boy he claims to be. Harmless online chatting can make us vulnerable to dangerous individuals. Your child should remember not to tell strangers, not even children, his phone number, address or name. Your little one shouldn’t send selfies to friends online or tell them when and where they want to go out. And your child should always decline invitations to meet in person.
