It’s almost time to go
Do not write your child’s name on his or her personal belongings such as a backpack where it is visible for everyone to see.
Adults who prey on children have tricks to gain a child’s trust and one of these tricks is calling a child by his or her name.
It is often difficult for children to separate strangers from acquaintances, and even good guys from the bad guys. If an adult comes up to them and says their name, it may make the child think the person must be someone they know or their parent knows. This makes the child think it is okay to talk to this adult.
A much better idea is to write your phone number instead — this will prove helpful if anything gets lost or stolen.
