One of the best way to help our children from being safe is to educate them in both behavior and knowledge of all things on how to live with the society. They should learn how to deal with strangers and discipline them to have some good manners and right conduct especially towards an elder person.

Today's new generation are already influenced by negative attitudes. To prove this fact, take a ride on a bus and you will see some people letting an old man stand while younger person tend to sit acting as if unaware about the old person standing near him.

hELLO,GOOD DAY... ANNJILENA,
All PARENTS ONLY WANT GOOD THINGS FOR THEIR CHILDREN..
Instances that they become BAD..
I. parents are human..And the tendency is that they become sometimes insensitive with what their children really want..so they force what they want..and a burden for a children..and children creativity is gone..their perpective of the world become narrow.
II.Parent only do what they Know..they always say "this is good for you,shot up!!"without knowing what the kids is thinking..And the tendency they become too cautious of their action..They always base their action to what their parents think of..which mean children are not thought of being a good decision maker..
What the parent should do:
1.Be sensitive..have an open communication with your kids..
2.Observe the things that make them happy..
3.Don't be too strict and too friendly..
4.Explain your ideas..and let him speak what is in his/her mind..
5.Research and Read parenting books,magazine..etc..
the key here is to guide your children,not to force them..teach them to think not to memorize or a step by step way of this should be this or this should be here..wrong! avoid that..don't forget the (why)eplained..let them ask question and answer their question clearly and honestly..
If a children has learn to properly think..then outside, in the field he/she will be safe.Because,his/her parent had teaches him/her how to think..in a proper way..
