如果一个陌生人试图带走他们,告诉他们这时候所有的礼仪都不需要了,他们可以打别人、尖叫、当众大吵大闹来吸引注意.
Natasha Daniels at Anxious Toddlers admits the 'chances are small' of your child being in such a perilous situation, but insists it's important to make sure they are alert.
Anxious Toddlers的娜塔莎-丹尼尔斯承认你的孩子置于此种危险的情况"几率很小",但是她坚称确保孩子们能保持机警是很重要的.
She writes: 'What I can teach my kids in 30 minutes might make the difference between life and death. And for that – it's worth it.'
她写道："在30分钟内我教给我孩子的东西可能会改变生死.因此,这很值得."
A spokesman for child protection charity NSPCC said: 'Going out without a parent is a natural step for children to take when the time is right, so it's crucial they feel prepared and confident.
英国全国防止虐待儿童学会(NSPCC)的发言人称："时机成熟时,没有家长陪同出门对于孩子来说是一个自然的步骤.所以他们感觉准备好了并且有自信是很重要的."
'Whilst it's true that most child abuse is committed by someone they know and although abuse by strangers is very rare, the risk is still there.
"尽管大多儿童虐待是孩子的亲近之人作为,而陌生人的虐待十分少见,但危险还是存在的."
'When giving advice parents should not unnecessarily frighten a child. They should put the potential dangers in perspective otherwise it could inadvertently cause a child to feel anxious.
"在给孩子建议的时候,家长不要去吓孩子.他们应该如实地描述潜在的危险,不然会在无意中让孩子感到焦虑."
'It can be a little bit daunting to let them take their first steps outside and alone, which is why we've developed a checklist to help parents prepare their children.' "让孩子们踏出独自外出的第一步会有点艰难,这就是为什么我们列出了一张清单来帮助家长指导孩子."
HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS SAFE - NSPCC CHECKLIST
如何确认你的孩子是安全的—NSPCC清单
• Address the risks by talking to your child early on about staying safe. Ask them what they would do if they were approached by a stranger.
•早些和孩子谈到独处时的安全问题,列出可能的危险.问孩子如果一个陌生人接近他们,他们会怎么做.
• As soon as your child is able to understand, teach them their full name, address and two family phone numbers.
•当孩子开始有理解能力后,教他们全名,家庭地址以及两个家庭电话号码.
• Teach your child never to go off with anyone, not even someone they know, unless they're able to contact you to check it's OK.
•教你的孩子永远不要私自和别人一起离开,即使那个人是他们认识的人.只有在他们联系你,确认之后才可以.
• Set boundaries by being clear about any places you don't want your child to go. Be willing to explain your decision so that your child understands your concerns.
•清楚地告诉他们你不想让他们去的地方并且乐于解释为什么你不想让他们去这些地方,这样他们才能理解你的担忧.
• If they feel uncomfortable or scared at any point tell them that they can ring you at any time. If they can't get reach you, advise them to approach someone in authority – whether that be a policeman, a shop assistant, a traffic warden, or someone similar, and explain that they are lost.
•无论何时,如果他们感到不舒服或者害怕,告诉他们随时打电话给你.如果他们联系不上你,建议他们寻求权威人士的帮助—无论是警察、店员、交通管理员或者是类似的人,然后解释说自己迷路了.
• Do a trial run to help build their confidence. Let your child take the lead when you're out together and only correct them if they do something that puts them at risk.'
•通过场景模拟来建立信心.当你们一起出去的时候,让你的孩子做主导,只需要在他们做了一些会将他们置于险境的事情时纠正一下.
