A perfect example of this is a young father with his daughter at a busy intersection in our neighborhood. Kneeling beside her he was pointing at cars wheeling around the corners with the drivers oblivious to pedestrians trying the cross the busy road and explaining the need to stay aware of everything around you in such instances.
The little girl seemed to understand his warnings, holding his hand tightly and nodding as he looked into her eyes.
This could be a perfect introduction to a presentation on road safely for young people at a local school -- or a lead in to a presentation on the need for parents to be just as diligent in guiding their young children as they learn to navigate around the dangers on the internet.
And it is also a good reminder for writers and speakers that the world is rich with such ideas and illustrations if you stay aware of your surroundings and keep that notebook or digital (or tape) recorder handy. You might even be able to take a picture of such things with phone camera for future use in some presentation.
