My grandchildren both big and small are always encouraged to be careful about locks etc. But I also found that hiding a key outside was very popular.

When we moved from our first house, we left keys for the occupants that the previous occupants had left for us. And when we moved into our house in Iowa, they left keys that we never found a lock for. I think it's a psyche thing--we hold on to these keys fearing someday something will need to be unlocked and we thus we will be ready. And to add to that, I think there is way too much talk lately about SECURITY. Yes, we have it, but it seems to me that current commercials are beating us over the head with it. When my husband was growing up in a house full of 10 kids they never locked their doors. Who would want all that craziness.
