Special Book Review
Book: "If I'd Only Known...Sexual Abuse In or Out of the Family"
The number of children who are abused in the world today, is unfortunately on the rise. It is best said in the book, "If I'd Only Known..." - "if a disease affected our children in these enormous numbers, we would declare a national emergency."
The book, "If I'd Only Known...Sexual Abuse In or Out of the Family: A Guide to Prevention," by Dorothy Neddermeyer, gives parents the know-how they need to help prevent their child from being sexually abused, and how to learn the signs of abuse. Among other things, the book discusses good/bad touches, self-protection, good body-image, and other helpful informative child-protection tips that parents can teach their children. The book also includes helpful resources for preventing child abuse.
My ParenTime highly recommends "If I'd Only Known..." - It's filled with helpful and easy suggestions on keeping your children safe from abuse, and gives parents a better understanding on how children become easy targets. Anyone caring for a child should take the time to read this book!
