Stranger Danger Making sure children are aware of the dangers that strangers can present without scaring them is a fine balancing act. If children are to spend anytime at all out of sight from parents/ carers teaching them about Stranger Danger may give some peace of mind. Children as young as 3/4 will begin to have some awareness of what Stranger Danger means and will understand what a stranger is and why they shouldn’t trust or go near them. Many local Police forces offer Stranger Danger courses

Living with Strangers - Siri Hustvedt In all cities and cultures around the world are there unwritten rules‚ who people outside this place will not understand. That was what has inspired Siri Hustvedt about New York City. She moved from her little hometown Minnesota to New York‚ which was a big difference from the life she used to live.
