[Image][Image][Image]On the HBO special "How to Raise a Street Smart Child" (1987), host Daniel J. Travanti asked, "Does your child know what a stranger is? The fact is most children just do not know. They think a stranger is someone threatening and evil. The problem with telling your children, 'don't talk to strangers' is that the bad guys don't always look bad."
On the same cable program, young, elementary schoolchildren provided their definitions of a stranger:
"A stranger sometimes wears a hat . . . sometimes a black or brown jacket and is a guy with a beard . . . some hair and a moustache and some glasses."
"I think a stranger is like . . . a punk rocker that drinks beer all day and sits around in a vacant lot."
"A stranger looks mean and ugly . . . a creep."
"Big . . . bigger than you, bigger than most people."
The concept is clearly a difficult one for a child to grasp. A neighbor, a familiar face in a child's daily routine, or someone the child's parents know well enough to speak to or whose name the child knows is probably not regarded as a stranger.
