Safeguards
About This Book
Children depend on the adults around them to keep them safe. The author, a family counselor with more than twenty years of practice, argues that parents and caregivers do best when they neither panic nor look away. Her aim is to help them think about the threats young people face through a biblical lens, while showing children how to move through a world where evil is real, with faith as their foundation. The book covers a wide range of hazards, including mistreatment, unsafe circumstances, violence, bullying, online crime, predatory conduct, sexting, abuse, and other dangers a child may meet. Rather than offering one set of rules for everyone, it breaks down the safety skills needed at four stages of life: the preschool years, elementary school, adolescence, and the move toward college. Each stage is addressed in a way suited to that age. Beyond the warnings, the book provides practical tools, skills, and resources for moments that feel uncomfortable, challenging, or frightening. Readers learn how to help children grow in confidence and conviction when facing new or alarming situations, and how to teach them to tell safe people and places from unsafe ones.
