In this chapter, we try to equipt the child with precautionary measures in case someone tries to take advantage when parents/guidance are not around to monitor. A method that is often recommended is like a game, thus, parents or teachers should put questions that are unexpected to test the intelligence and awareness of that child. Such questions could go in the following pattern. Example, what if...? What about....? and hear the child answer it. Parents or teachers can generate a story to make the children understand better.

You can create a story for a child to spice up his/her emotions in line with an expected situation bearing in mind that children learn by playing and imitation.

This is teaching a child with basic protective tools. An
