Tips on Dealing with Strangers from a Mom & Educator

Wherever I went on this heartbreaking day, all the parents I met seemed to have the same reaction. In the face of such a horrific event, it’s the most natural thing in the world.

How can we best serve our children? What is the best way to warn them of stranger danger?

If this holds, it would be a considerable drop from the 78 percent of the Jewish vote Obama received in 2008, and from the standard 75–80 percent of the Jewish vote that Democratic political strategists have come to expect and rely upon.
