This was taught to our parents, they kept repeating it to us, and now we, as responsible fathers and mothers, must hammer into the little man’s head this unshakable law. Of course, occasionally you can take advantage of the generosity of the neighbor's grandmother and treat yourself to homemade cookies, but not more, and then if your mother allows.

2. Are you going to visit a friend you just met?
   The correct answer is beyond doubt: it is strictly forbidden to visit unfamiliar people! And this applies not only to adult new “friends”, but also to peers with whom the baby has just formed a friendship on the playground or at school. If you really want, for example, to go on an excursion home to a new classmate, explain to your child that you must wait for your mother and take her with you.

3. You're surrounded by a big pack of dogs. What are you gonna do?
   "Escape" is the wrong answer! Explain to the child that the dog runs much faster, so do not run from the threat, but also stop. The best thing you can do is slowly move away from the pack without looking the animals in the eyes or turning your back to them, so as not to provoke an attack. And most importantly, do not show your fear to the wild pack! Dogs feel both fear and anger, with the former regarded as weakness and the latter as a threat.
