Macaulay Culkin’s fiancé Brenda Song is dishing what she attempts to teach her preschoolers with her husband’s renowned film Home Alone.

The pair shares two boys, Carson, 3, and Dakota, 4 which the mother-of-two does not use to make the boys understand that their father is the star but instead to instill some fear in them.

In a conversation with E! News, The Suite Life on Deck actress dished that while the children enjoy the traps and hijinks, they do not understand the danger in the film but that their elder son, Dakota, “gets it more” than Carson.

Song added that after the movie ended she turned to her sons and said, “‘See, your mama's here right next to you. Don't you want to give me a hug? I didn't leave.’ I'm so terrible, but I feel like your children have to be a little scared."

She went on to say that fear goes a long way and that she is persistent about teaching Carson and Dakota about stranger danger.

Song tells the boys that if they don’t know someone’s name or haven’t seen them at their house, the person is a stranger.
