Are your children at that age where it’s time to start talking to them about how their body is theirs and shouldn’t be touched inappropriately by anyone else? Do you have questions about how to broach this subject with your child? MoM of 2 and Prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes, Jill, from New York founded Safety Star Media as a publishing company that creates books that empower children to be their own “safety stars” in 2009 and wrote My Body Belongs to Me.
Using her decade of experience, Ms. Starishevsky has crafted a book that speaks to children – it makes them aware that when it comes to their bodies, there are boundaries. It assures them that it’s OK to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches their “private parts.”
Geared toward children ages 3-10, it tells the story of a child who is touched by an uncle’s friend and tells a parent. Children will respond to the rhyming text and bright illustrations. Parents and educators will find it a vital tool to initiate a lifesaving dialogue.
…..In only 19 sentences, this simple book will empower children while promoting open communication.
