In reply to I want to lock my children in the house..., posted by judy1 on August 26, 2002, at 11:20:34

We have air conditioning units in our windows, and we sleep with our doors closed. Even though we have two dogs, the noise from the air conditioners drowns out most things. So we have always slept with our doors about halfway open.

Since the kidnappings, I put the baby monitor back in her room so that I could hear better in the night.

But you can't let fear rule you. Be extra careful, and, by all means, teach them that grownups who ask them to help find puppies are LYING. My daughter knows that if anyone approaches her--in our yard or anywhere--she is to scream very loud and run inside for help. She also knows to bite. I have heard these are important things, but we don't teach them to our children because we don't want them to be afraid.

A little fear is a good thing. My daughter is four and a half and knows about people who take children. She says she knows what to do. She also knows her address and phone number and how to call 911.
