- Teach him to "NO-GO-TELL" if he feels threatened : say NO, GO quickly to a trusted adult and TELL them.
- Emphasize that he should never get into someone's car unless a parent or teacher agrees first and that adults, especially ones in cars, never need help from children.
- Tell him never open the front door if you're not there.
- Always accompany her in public lavatories.
- Have a secret code word that only the 2 of you know. If an adult tries to collect him from school without using it, he'll know to get help.
- Have a plan in case she gets lost, e.g. stay where you last saw each other.
- Unplug your home phone ans show him how to ring the emergency number.
- Give her a card with your name, address and phone number on it. If she is very small, sew it into her jacket.
