*They say, "Okay" so the stranger doesn't feel threatened that the child will expose them and take action to stop them from telling.
4 ALWAYS
1. Always go to Mom or Dad right away with anything a stranger might asks you to do.
2. Always go to Mom or Dad right away when a stranger asks you to keep a secret.
3. Always go to Mom or Dad right away if a stranger does anything to you that doesn't feel right. You will never be in trouble. (This can be a good time to talk with your child about the private parts of his or her body. Make sure they know no one is allowed to touch those parts for any reason, even close friends or family members.)

Reviewing the Four Nevers & Always regularly and role-playing is key. If you just "know" these skills they are of little worth. They must become a true skill through practice or nervousness, embarrassment, and fear will be too great a barrier for your child to come to you. Lets keep all our karate kids in Aurora safe by sharing these tips with friends and family.
==================================
Of course if someone knows how to really trigger you with punches, kicks, and openings then give that a try. Make sure it is not so much that you get overwhelmed. It should be a real surprise and keep it fun!
Here is how you get a point: you don't get hit, you catch the high fives, or your make eye contact, say, "yes, Sir/Mama", and follow the command the first time without hesitation. Of course adjust for age.
Lastly, be sure to take other types attacks into account like asking your child to make their bed. Try this for the next week and see how it goes. I am excited to hear all our students and karate kids feedback in the comments below. Aurora should be alive with the sound of Ninja this week!
