Stranger Danger Is Not Enough — James Tomaszewski on What Children Actually Need to Know to Stay Safe

Most children are taught to be wary of strangers. What they are rarely taught is what to actually do in the specific situations where that wariness needs to become action. James Tomaszewski has spent years working on practical child safety education, and he joins Stacey Chillemi to talk about the gap between telling children to be careful and genuinely equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves. What he shares about the real dangers children face in everyday environments that most parents underestimate, the effective strategies that go beyond basic stranger awareness to give kids a clear and actionable understanding of how to respond when something feels wrong, and how parents can get actively involved in building this kind of safety literacy without creating fear will give every caregiver something specific and immediately useful to work with. Keeping children safe starts with honest conversations. This episode gives you the framework to have them. Don't miss out on this valuable discussion that could shape the future of our children.
