[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think you did anything wrong, but I do think it's a teachable moment with your kids. You should talk about what they should do if they notice an adult they don't know that seems to be watching them play, or that is engaged in unusual activity (walking up and down the same street), or that tries to talk to them beyond a simple greeting. It sounds like your kids were coming to get you, which is the right thing and they should be applauded for that. Encourage them to be aware of surroundings and trust their instincts -- that's so important and I feel like it's one reason why parents don't trust their kids to be out and about by themselves -- because they haven't given them the proper tools.[/quote]
