Initiating serious conversations with toddlers

Posting here for traffic. How did/will you initiate serious conversations with toddlers, such as pants rule and not going off with strangers?

My eldest is getting to the stage where I think she'd understand but I don't know how to broach these conversations with her? I want to start talking about these things but I don't want to freak her out! She's 3yo.

When did she turn 3? I would say she's a pre schooler rather than a toddler.
When I read your title I tried to imagine having a conversation that consisted of anything other than 'car' 'woof woof' 'mama choc choc' with my 2yo Grin

I'd just try and work it in naturally to every day situations. Eg when you're helping her with the toilet remind her that only mummy, daddy etc are allowed to see her with her pants off.

Just do it as it comes up.

My 3 year old loves being naked, taking her clothes off, trying to take my clothes off etc etc...sometimes opportunities just come up to talk to her about it in passing rather than sitting down and having a serious conversation about it
