As early as their little brains can comprehend what you are saying, I would guess around 3???? As early as possible anyway. Not to make them afraid of people, but the make them not trusting of people either. That is such a hard line for a child to have to see, just because so many sick people are in the world. Sad.

Unfortunately, in this day & age probably still in the womb. There are sickos who seem to violate children bad enough as it is but now it seems to get younger & younger. I think the minute they can understand even your body language they should know that if anybody approaches them run to mom or dad & they will figure out if its danger or not.

As soon as your child can understand you. Make sure your child knows to run, yell, scream, kick and most importantly that your kid says "HELP!!, this is not my parent", Since alot of kids tend to act up, its especially important that your kids lets people around know that this person is a stranger and not its parent. Also make sure they know not to willingly go with anyone.

You shouldn't stranger danger is the biggest misconception. In actuality children are more in danger from people they know than from strangers. But age appropriately you can start teaching them about their bodies and good and bad touchign and most important of all make sure it is easy for them to discuss these things with you so if they are scared they will come to you.

As soon as they can understand and comprehend what it is. I've always told my kids since they were little to follow these rules. 1. If you need help from someone if you are lost, ask a woman to help you. 2. If someone grabs you that is a stranger, they are to yell at the top of their lungs "HELP ME! THIS IS NOT MY DAD"
