Nice question MO3 because mine is 7 years old also and I am afraid too .But I know she can manage to come from classroom and wait for me on front.Its not that hard kids at age 7 can little bit take care of themselves especially when you talk to them.In karate class they were teaching to my daughter and all the children that about self defense and they understand it. You need to do the basics tell your child your home adress, home number, cell number and tell him never talk to a stranger.And if you can thats what I do with my daughter we have a code if someone comes to her and tell her that your mommy is calling come with me ,she will never go until or unless she knows that person or the person will tell her secret code.Sometimes I go and check a mail on purpose if she is alone for3 or 4 minutes she needs to lock the door when I will knock she needs to ask for a private code and if its her mom she will open it or she will never do it. But there is one thing I never allowed her to cross the road where there is a signal on her own.Its dangerous we can allow them simple things like go grab a mail or wait for me at the front of school.Its okay because they are growing up and they know little bit what is right and what is wrong.Whom to trust or not. We need to talk to them a lot about that I know its hard but it builds confidence in them and especially I was reading some articles on internet where they were saying that especially boys at age 7 to 14 are in more danger because of child molesters so you need to talk to them and tell them never to trust anyone.Even they have courses of self defense for children in schools where they teach different things when to yell when you see a stranger or what to do when someone is grabbing you, it teaches them a lot. Atfirst Zafeerah got a little scared but after that she was fine now she knows a little bit how to handle bad situations instead of panicking but still she is a child.
