What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The underlying sensitive topic is the potential for a child to be frightened or bitten by a dog. The book addresses this directly and pragmatically, not by showing scary scenes, but by providing a proactive, positive set of behaviors to prevent negative outcomes. The entire approach is secular and focused on safety and respect.
