Doctors recommend explaining to your child that there's never a reason an adult would need a child's help finding something. It's also a good idea to go over some scenarios where a bad person might ask them for help. For example, they might say they lost their puppy and need help finding it. Or they may try to entice them with treats or even electronics. Doctors say it's also important to teach your kids who the "good people" are like police officers, firefighters, and teachers.
