An excellent primer on protecting children from predators. This is a pretty short book, takes maybe 30 minutes to read. It gives very direct information and examples of conversations to have with children to make them cognizant of possible dangers. I do wish there was more information, but it's very straightforward and a great starting point for a complex topic. The examples are very easy to follow and children will be able to understand warning signs and what to do if something happens to them.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.

Very usufull for the protection of our children.
Very simple and to the point.
This was really good.

“I won’t gamble with my children’s safety for the sake of fitting in or sparing someone’s feelings.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 this is a very important book! every parent should read this!

This is a truly incredible and useful tool for anyone who wants to keep kids safe from sexual abuse or trauma. I’ve worked in victim advocacy professionally for adults, but as my nieces and nephews get older and I consider having children of my own, I was looking for tools that are specific to protecting children.

A quick and fairly easy read, this books lays out the tools in a concise and digestible manner. It starts off with statistics and data that are a wake up call to parents that all children can be at risk. There are conversations and ‘practice sessions’ for those who want to implement these steps with their children. There is concise language that does not delve into scholarly or psychological and is easy to grasp.


Finally, I’d like to emphasize my two favorite things about this book. The first is that the author does not profit from this and has multiple methods for getting it into the hands of those who need and want it, a selfless and powerful gift to parents, educators, and other adults out there who want to keep the children in their lives safe. Second, this book ends with repeated assurance that if your child does experience sexual assault, blame is never on the parent or the child. Blame ALWAYS lies with the abuser. Please - from a person who wished my parents read this when I was a child, read it.
