Every parent wants to keep their child safe from harm. That concern becomes worry and often times
panic because of the daily news stories of horrific acts and tragic
events. They often make you want to keep
your children inside, lock all your doors and never let anyone else near
them. It certainly is possible to run to
the extreme of being unconcerned and apathetic toward the very real possibilities

the child, causing fear, stranger anxiety and social problems for the
child. There is a way to balance the
worry parents have for the safety of their child with the positive social
