Without being taught about body boundaries, a child may be too young to understand when abuse is happening—or that it’s wrong. This straightforward, gentle book offers a tool parents, teachers, and counselors can use to help children feel, be, and stay safe. The rhyming story and simple, friendly illustrations provide a way to sensitively share and discuss the topic, guiding young children to understand that their private parts belong to them alone. The overriding message of My Body Belongs to Me is that if someone touches your private parts, tell your mom, your dad, your teacher, or another safe adult.
'You Can Tell Me' is a guide for parents establishing a foundation for their children to learn and understand how to identify and communicate about inappropriate touching or behaviors. It is critical for parents to establish a haven and a clearly identifiable communication channel that allows their children to freely express their experiences of inappropriate touching or behaviors. This book is not all inclusive of what parents must do but it is a great start. 'You Can Tell Me' is intended to be interactive so please help your child fill in the blanks when you see "_____________" on a page. You will also find questions at the end of each section. These questions are intended to spark a conversation. Please pose these questions to your children and begin a very necessary conversation. (Recommended for ages 4 and up.)

This book helps children to understand the difference between secrets, surprises and privacy. Avoid asking children to keep secrets because secrets are predators greatest weapon to silence a child from speaking up. In all my body safety story books, I have made reference to close family and friends like cousins, friends, neighbours, aunties and uncles because 90% of abuse is done by someone known, liked and trusted by the family and the child.

Not only do we want to keep our children safe, but we also want to teach them to respect the bodies of others. My four collection of body safety story books uses storytelling to explain inappropriate behaviours and body safety rules. These small and yet powerful books can make a massive difference to our society and future generations.
