What is the best DVD or book that teaches toddlers about stranger danger?
I have an overly-friendly 3 year old that will hold hands with any stranger and talk their ear off. She often tells random people how much she loves and misses them. I love her outgoingness, but realize that I need to really instill the importance of Stranger Danger in her. Any suggestions on good DVDs or books that I can use as teaching tools? She seems to really grasp things that she learns via the TV well.

And fear little from strangers, fear those in her life – family and friends. She has poor boundaries for whatever reason, probably because someone hasn’t mirrored appropriate interactions with strangers, but children are hurt by those they know 98% of the time, not strangers.

The Safe Side: Stranger Danger.
This DVD is fun and not scary for children.
