Introduction

Each day, four children in the United States die from some form of abuse. One out of every four girls and one out of every six boys will have been sexually molested by the time they reach the age of eighteen. Most of this abuse begins before the child is four years old. We need to take every precaution for protecting our children from this heinous problem!

This book is ideal as an introduction to basic body safety rules for the very young child, allowing parents to begin educating their child long before the age of four. “Say no and get away. Tell a trusted adult.” These are the crucial concepts to offer to the very young child. It is the adult’s responsibility to provide early learning for protecting their child and this short story will assist them with the process.

Everyone has a body.

Even fish have bodies.

Some parts of our bodies we share with others.

 

For example our hands when we high five someone

or shake their hand.

We share all of the parts of our bodies except the private areas.

The private areas are any area a swimsuit covers.

They are called private areas because some parts of our bodies are not for sharing.

If someone asks to touch or touches the private areas say, “No!”

and run to find a trusted adult.

There are some parts of our bodies we share with others, but some parts are not for sharing.
