Recommended for children ages 2 and up, this book was created to help parents and caregivers introduce or reinforce the concepts of privacy and body safety to children learning for the first time and for those not quite ready to handle a longer book and/or more complex concepts like secrets, tricks, and intuition. In ten short pages children are taught: 1. Their bodies belong just to them 2. Some parts are private 3. Private is a word that means its not meant for sharing 4. Proper terminology for genitalia 5. It is a rule that privates are not for looking, touching or playing games 6. All adults know the rules about private parts and if a rule is broken, it is always right to tell and that it's an adult's just to keep children safe. We hope you will use this book as a launching point for talking about body safety, it is printed in a sturdy board book format so that even the youngest of readers can hold and turn pages on their own. Proceeds from the sale of this book will support nonprofit organization, The Mama Bear Effect in our mission to raise awareness and educate for the prevention of child sexual abuse. The book can be previewed in full on our organizational website. TheMamaBearEffect.org *Look for our best selling Body Safety Rules Magnet now available through Amazon!*
As a pediatric registered nurse, and a sexual assault nurse examiner. I work primarily with children, who have a wide range of abilities, both cognitively and physically. I recommend this book to anyone who has children in their lives. I personally love using this book for story time, it is an excellent resource for teaching and for discussing body safety, anatomical terms, acceptable behaviors, how to ask for help when help is needed. As a survivor, I really love and appreciate the fact that the book gently reinforces the point that it is never a child’s responsibility to protect themself. This fact takes so much of the self blame/ shame off of a survivors shoulders, it was never meant to be their burden to carry. The illustrations are perfectly balanced, with a multi-cultural, diverse group of children, delivered in a warm, caring and straightforward way. The layout is easy to read, simple and to the point. My 6 and 7 year old niece and nephew read this book to their younger siblings, which often leads to a body safety, and autonomy discussion. I get feedback about how my niece and nephew are advocating for other children at school, church and on the playground. They use their voices to speak up when they see inappropriate behaviors or when unjust treatment/ behaviors are occurring. They teach other children to speak up too. It’s an awesome ripple effect in action. I highly recommend this organization, and use all of The Mama Bear Effect’s educational resources, teaching tools and materials, magnets. We always partake in child abuse prevention and awareness month, pinwheel gardens and tie one to end child abuse campaigns. This is my go to site/ group and I refer all my Patient families and children and parents I come in contact with to this site. Excellent team who are like minded, involved in their community and interact with other organizations thought the country, supporting survivors and their families, with grace, kindness and a sincerely caring, concerned demeanor. I have been following and contributing to this cause for several years, and the level of dedication is outstanding and always consistent. What an amazing, resource rich organization. Thank you for all that you and your organization do for all children, survivors and their families. #BraveWarriorSnow
