What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals directly with personal safety, including concepts often termed "stranger danger" and body autonomy. The approach is secular and empowering rather than fear-based. It focuses on identifying trusted adults and listening to one's own feelings. For example, instead of focusing on scary outcomes, it models what a child should do: say no, run, and tell a trusted grown-up. The resolution is always hopeful, with the child making a safe choice and feeling confident.
