Giving your child tools to deal with life is one of the greatest gifts you can give as a parent. You can't always be there with them, so let your wisdom go where they go. Talking about dangerous situations is often difficult because as kids start to individuate, which is nature's call, they aren't considering the threats; they’re noticing all the coolness life has to offer.
