When I was 9, I was almost kidnapped by a stranger. So I’ve tended to be more cautious throughout most of my life compared to other kids. I’ve been giving my kids age-appropriate safety advice since they were young even though we live in a “safe” neighborhood. I loved to run when I was young too. I always had a running partner, ran at the gym, or ran in places that had very clear access to people or help if I needed to yell for help (like homes, roads, stores, blue lights, etc).
