Content

Stranger 

A stranger is a person you do not know. They might be someone you have never met before or someone you have seen but don’t know their name. It is important to be careful around strangers because we don’t always know if they are friendly or if they might want to do something bad.

How to Interact with Security Agents in Different Situations Approaching with Respect:

• Always walk up to a security agent calmly. You can say “Excuse me” to get their attention.

2. Using Polite Language:
   • It’s important to use kind words. For example, say “Please” when asking for help and “Thank you” after they help you.
3. Asking for Help:
   • If you need help, tell the security agent what is wrong. For example, you might say, “I can’t find my mom,” or “I need help crossing the street.”
4. Listening Carefully:
   • After you ask for help, listen to what the security agent says. They might give you instructions on what to do next.
5. Staying Calm:
   • If you feel scared or nervous, take a deep breath. Remember that security agents are there to help you.
6. Following Directions:
   • If a security agent tells you to do something, like stand in one place or wait for your parent, it’s important to follow their directions to stay safe.
7. Saying Goodbye:
   • After you get the help you need, say “Thank you” and “Goodbye” before leaving. This shows respect and appreciation for their help.
