Reddit reviews The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers

I agree with others that it sounds like the first step is just teaching her how to politely interact with strangers - it's okay to wave or say hi, but it's not okay to touch them, etc. Reading something like A Little Book About Safety might help reinforce those ideas. In a couple years you could also try The Berestein Bears Learn About Strangers.

For more specifically talking about body safety, you might check out Your Body Belongs to You or Miles is the Boss of his Body. Or if you want to frame the discussion in terms of more general safety topics, maybe I Can Be Safe.

I have a 4.5 yr old girl and can really relate. We have the Bernstain Bears book on strangers, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It deals with the subject in a very even handed manner, to teach the "safety rules" while not inciting fearfulness. My daughter's preschool also has a major focus this year on "personal safety" which encompasses a WIDE range of safety issues. It's nice for them to hear a consistent message from a variety of sources.

Etc.

I think you might be right.

And here's a link to the book for the VHS you have where it's spelled differently:

It was this.

I think they talk about people not touching where your bathing suit goes or something and that's what clued me in.

That sounds like it would be one of my favorite Berenstein Bear stories, if I actually remembered it--but I don't.

The Berenstain Bears book about strangers is an awesome way to teach kids about stranger danger without totally freaking them out. Your kid is probably too young to totally get it, but I always recommend this one because it's not completely overboard. You don't want your kid to be scared of everyone, but you do want to instill a healthy skepticism.

Scary. I'm glad everything turned out okay and the cops got to him.
