On a bridge over an ornamental pond in the park I stopped and stood side-by-side with an older lady to watch the fish. "What kind are they?" I ventured to ask.

"Koi carp," she replied and went on to tell me, little by little, how she had raised her own in a tank on her balcony. Bought one every time one of her six children was born so they grew up together. How they outgrew their tank and she had to give them away and she misses them still.

What To Tell Children About Hell And Stranger Danger?

by Mike Edwards

I wrote here my thoughts what to say to a child when they ask about Hell. See here.

Confession. I told my children some 35-40 years ago to say “this is not my father” when a stranger tries to take them away. I don’t think I would do the same today to not freak them out. My kids were not traumatized. It is now a joke in the family what Dad told them to do to be safe. What would I tell them now?

Every child is different. AI has good insights “what to tell a child about strangers.” Decide the best response for each child. Some kids are more sensitive than others to scary conversations. Part of parenting is to figure out the best advice for each child. Tailor your strategy to a specific age group (for example, 4–6, 7–9, or preteen)?

How to Start

After thinking about what each child needs, be sure to tell them not all strangers are bad, but children should be careful until a trusted adult says it’s okay to go with someone they don’t know. Encourage your child to always ask you when they aren’t sure. Of course, parents can’t always be around, so I would suggest to tell them never go off with anyone they don’t know. Maybe if forcefully taken, they can start yelling “this is not my father.”

There is no perfect answer, depending on each child’s sensitivity. Just think about best conversation to have depending on their age.

One of my favourite encounters with #strangers happened over a decade ago. I was watching park football in Bute Park Cardiff, and overheard a familiar accent.

I asked the lady if she was from London. Yes - as true a #cockney as you could get. I asked why she said that.and she told me that her mother was carrying her when out walking when she suddenly went into labour. Actually gave birth to her in the toilets of Bow Bells church.

“I realised I was spending too much time on my phone in public, so I started making a point to compliment strangers, to help me stay grounded and bring a little joy to the world”

“Focus on what someone has chosen to show. It’s safer to compliment what one purposely does, displays or achieves than the visible characteristics they didn’t choose.”
