I know the parents you send it to will agree it is a critical tool in facilitating an important discussion. You referenced another book title and I wonder if that is another book you heard of or if that was the message you were left with after reading about My Body Belongs to Me. I thought you might be interested in a video about My Body Belongs to Me that we had put together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-JTK9pOZ6M Be well and thank you for your comment.

From being a subject that (many years ago) could not be discussed openly, to (more recently) media exposes at the highest levels of religion and politics, to (presently) an ever-growing problem with unsafe computer websites, sexual child abuse is still on the rise. And the bottom line is, our children need to be protected from predators. We'll never know how many children in the past, fell between the cracks and never had the chance to resolve their guilt or shame. How many would have had the opportunity to confront their abuser and then move on with their lives? Knowing full-well the impact child molestation can have on any child, I can really appreciate the laying of a foundation for openness between a parent/trusted adult and a child. Your book gives young victims of sexual abuse as well as potential victims of sexual abuse, a very simple, clear plan of action they can follow. The most important component of that plan, to me, anyway, is the permission slip that encourages them to speak out to a trusted adult. I'm hoping that this common sense answer finally gets heard by those who need to hear it most.: the young children who, thanks to your book, will have learned how to protect themselves from those who wrongfully, knowingly step over the line between appropriate and inappropriate adult/child boundaries. I will be purchasing two copies of Speak Your Mind to give to the parents of both of my sets of grandchildren, so they can be taught these valuable, empowering lessons. Thank you for your willingness to address a very difficult subject that needed to be addressed, Sandy Jill,
