Accalia is an on again off again Dora the Explorer fan. She doesn't especially like to watch all of these shows, but she likes to play the online games. So Cory thought of a way to explain the whole stranger danger thing to her that would tie in with something we know she is familiar with and understands. On Dora, the "bad guy" is a fox named Swiper. They always have to watch out for him because - you guessed it! - he swipes things! So today I talked with Accalia again and explained that I was scared when she ran off because I thought somebody might "swipe" her, and we talked again comparing strangers and Swiper and what to do. Now I can just imagine Accalia yelling at the top of her lungs "Swiper no swipe!" when a stranger comes near her. Who knows how much has sunk in, but I think with any continuing dialogue something has to seep through.
