What Would Your Child Do in these situations?

* If your child was approached on the playground and asked if he could help find a lost puppy, what would he do?

* If you and your daughter became separated in the mall, what would she do?

* If your home catches on fire in the middle of the night, would your children know what to do?

* If he is being bullied in the bathroom at school or on the bus, what should he do? Do you really know how your child would respond (or should respond), or are you just guessing? Have you ever asked him or her to find out? Would you know what to ask or how to ask it? Would you know what to discuss with your child in these situations?

The Authority On Child Safety: How To Talk To Your Kids About Their Personal Safety Without Scaring Them is NOT just a book that tells parents how to keep their kids safe. We want to make that point perfectly clear. If you think that your kids will be safe because you bought and read a book about child safety, then you are sadly mistaken. What you learn and digest does not matter one bit unless your child also learns safety concepts and drills. Then why should you buy it? This is the first place to start with educating your child on how to be safe. This is an interactive guide for parents to use to BEGIN the dialogue with their kids on how to be safe. We can not be with our kids 24/7. We will not always be there to protect them. At some point, they need to be empowered to stand up for themselves and to be able to protect themselves.

Honestly ask yourself - what are you doing for your child - for your children - right now that is helping them to be able to protect themselves when you are not around? We are giving you a blueprint for you to use to start that process - right here, right now In this guide, you will learn:

* Why sticking your head in the sand and pretending crime does not exist is NOT a great way to protect your child (or yourself);

* Important crime statistics that cannot be ignored

* Why "Stranger Danger" should NEVER be taught to our kids

* Where the registered sex offenders live in your area (hint: The U.S. Dept. Of Justice tells us there is on average one sex offender per square mile in the US);

* Why your child is NEVER too young to learn safety concepts;

* Why you should not be comfortable in thinking your child is safe because you "never leave your kid alone with someone you don't know";

* Why the "Once A Year Safety Day" programs in our schools are not working; * Why education is the key to keeping our kids safe

* HOW TO start the all important dialogue with your child about safety issues they may face, including topics such as: -Abduction Prevention -Bullying Prevention -Good / Bad / Unwanted Touch -Sexual Assault Prevention -Home Safety -Water Safety -Fire Safety -Bicycle Safety -Car Safety -Dog Safety -Gun Safety -Out and About Safety -Internet Safety -Social Media Safety -Drug and Alcohol Awareness

* How to EMPOWER you child So how do you keep your child from becoming a victim?

Education is the key. And it starts with a simple conversation between you and your child. We need to make sure our kids are taught to:

(1) Understand and be able to recognize dangerous situations and behaviors.

(2) Trust their gut - to trust their instincts. If something does not feel right to them, it probably isn't.

(3) Have the self-confidence to be able to say "NO" if they ever feel threatened. You can't rely on our schools or others to empower your child. The process must start with you and we show you how to begin.
