[quote=Anonymous]Note, this is for a church Sunday School type setting, not a school setting. I am not opposed to a 3 year old participating in an emergency evaluation drill, similar to a fire drill. I am wondering whether it's developmentally appropriate to refer to the unlikely but possible scenario of a "bad guy" coming in. There's a chance it'll all go over my 3 year old's head, but they are perceptive. Of course I hate that we live in a world where we have to do this stuff, but I'm not opposed to practicing the drill. I just wonder about whether saying "emergency" (like "this is what we do if there's an emergency and we need to leave or crouch down") is more developmentally appropriate than including a reference to a bad guy.
