When young people understand and have practiced a safety plan for how to get help everywhere they go, they are far more likely to get help sooner rather than later, which can prevent many upsetting or potentially dangerous problems from getting bigger. Lessons in book 4 include:
  • Knowing Where Safety Is If You Need Help
  • When To Wait and When to Interrupt
  • The Difference Between Tattling and Telling
  • Persisting in Getting Help From Busy, Impatient Adults
  • What to Do If You Are Lost or Bothered
Each book in the series presents a set of social-emotional skills that can prevent most bullying, abuse, kidnapping, and other violence in ways that are age-appropriate, upbeat, emotionally safe, inclusive of kids with disabilities – and not scary.
