II. Listening Skills
To keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. Also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travel in groups whenever possible. More importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. Moreover, children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. In fact, it is never too late to ask for help, and to keep asking until they get the help they need. Last but not least, we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister?s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.
