I hate reading anything that makes me feel anxious and initially this book sat on the shelf for weeks before I actually picked it up.I was so glad I did because there is such valuable information in here and I actually feel better about my child's safety than I did before.Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe and Parents Sane is about how to teach your child to trust her instincts when it comes to safety.Since 90% of child abuse and abductions occur by people well-known to your child, teaching her to talk to strangers just doesn't work.Instead, the author gives you detailed and logical steps to take, starting as early as toddlerhood, so you'll know how to help your child learn to follow her instincive feelings about whether someone is safe or not.
Crucial information about how to be prepared for (God forbid but we should all be prepared just in case) the event that your child may be seperated from you in public.Examples include making a daily detailed mental note of the clothing your child is wearing, keeping large photocopies of your child's picture and name in your purse/wallet so you can hand them out to security personel within seconds of your child's disappearance and an action plan for immediate implementation.
There is SO much in this book - every bit of it worth reading so you can protect your child - and I can't recommend it strongly enough.Read it NOW and be prepared.
