What I did with my kids when they were little was to tell them they were not to go off with someone even if they knew them unless they knew the code word. And then I would make the code word something silly that they would be sure to remember and that someone else would not know unless I gave it to them when needed. Something like "chocolate pickles". That way, they didn't have to be concerned whether this person fell into my definition of a stranger but they knew not to go off with someone unless they said the code word. Good luck! It is so hard to protect our little ones in today's world, isn't it?

This is what I told my kids........
Do not ever go with anybody without asking me or daddy first!
Do not go with Aunt Paula, Do not go with your KIKI-WIKI, Do not ever leave with anyone without asking me first! Tell him also that strangers are anyone who isn't family. Strangers look like normal people, they don't all look scary but some do.
I ran a test on my kids and had a friend stop their car and ask for directions and both of my kids ran into the house. Try that with him.

u could say that they can't be friends properly yet because to be friends you have to know someone for a year. until the year is passed they are still strangers , although they are getting to know each other better all the time .
hope this helps.

I think it's great your explain to your child what a stranger is. You'll also need to teach them about adults they know and inappropriate touch. The truth is most kids who are molested or kidnapped are done so by either members of their family's or close friends of the family.

Possibly tell him that if they aren't people that come to your house or you know from a familiar place (like church). They are a stranger. You might think you know that persons parents, but really we only know them by name. They have never spent time with us. They aren't someone they should go with alone...without you. We should know their phone number and address in our book.

That isn't' a stranger it's an acquaintance. You must be direct if you do not wish your four year old to interact with that person you have to see to that yourself. And make sure caretakers know it too.

When you are out in public you just point them out. There is a stranger we do not know him or her. But you need to worry more about acquaints. They are the ones that they know but not too well.

All I can think of is telling him that someone he doesn't see on a regular basis is a stranger.

Until "little Johnny" is old enough for a better explanation, try this:
Strangers are those people that we do not know, or those people that Mommy or Daddy has not told you that it is alright to be with.
