THE SAFE CHILD BOOK: A Common Sense Approach to Protecting Children and Teaching Children To Protect Themselves

The daily headlines provide a constant reminder of the violence and abuse perpetrated against children. Parents try to find a balance between protecting their children and letting them grow up without fear and paranoia. Finding an appropriate way to protect children while nurturing their feeling of well-being and safety in the world is precisely the point of this book.

Written for parents, The Safe Child Book walks you through all the steps for protecting your children from abuse, abduction and risk in non-supervised settings. It shows you how to begin the process from the time your children are just a few months old through high school.

Based on the Safe Child Program which is used in schools around the world, this book addresses parental concerns in s straightforward manner without using scare tactics or jargon. Kraizer's method relies on the concept that children who have been taught to think for themselves are the safest children of all.

Beginning with the basics and moving through more difficult issues, Kraizer offers concrete step-by-step techniques for setting family expectations and teaching child safety skills that parents will feel comfortable using with their children without creating an atmosphere of fear or anxiety.

The Safe Child Book will show you how to protect your children and teach them to protect themselves including:

  • prevention of sexual abuse by people they know
  • safety around strangers
  • playing the What If... Game
  • safety when home alone
  • safety in situations without supervision
  • dealing with bullies
  • safety on the Internet
  • safety in your school
  • parents as advocates
