Description

IF YOU TOUCH, I’LL TELL is more than just a book. It’s an alarm system for children!

IF YOU TOUCH, I’LL TELL is similar to the security alert symbol outside your home, warning thieves to stay away. Every book comes with five paper cutouts that can be adhered to a child’s backpack or lunchbox. these cutouts serve as a warning to predators that the child has been taught about inappropriate touching and harnessing their “voice power!” This book also includes notes to a trusted adult on who predators are, where they lurk, and how to teach children about inappropriate touching.

The author knows firsthand that an inappropriate touching incident can be extremely difficult to discuss. This book comes with a removable poster that can be used as a teaching tool about private parts. When words just won’t come out, the poster also doubles as a “voice power” enhancer, helping a child tell you about an inappropriate experience.

Preventing a child from being abused is one of the most important things you can do as a trusted adult. Prevention is better than cure, especially in the case of sexual abuse. This book teaches children to use voice power to deactivate predators.
