Overview

Designed to help adults talk with toddlers and preschoolers about sexual abuse in a way that reduces embarrassment and fear and emphasizes self-reliance and open communication, this book does not contain specific references and stories about sexual abuse, a nod to the tender age of its target audience. It does, however, emphasize how children#&8217;s feelings can help them make decisions about sharing their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others. The book introduces two #&8220;touching codes,#&8221; which children can use to protect themselves when they are uncomfortable.
