Talk To Strangers
Don't Talk to Strangers, could be the worst advice ever today. Assertiveness develops good social skills, and not having fear of strangers, promotes safety, not to mention meeting beautiful humans.
Don't get me wrong... Our mother's advice was good once. As a father and grandpa, I want safety more than anything to protect them as best I can. However, avoiding strangers and social interaction ends up sending the wrong message in today's environment.
