[quote=Anonymous]For my preschoolers, I have used the book "Let's Stay Safe." It was written specifically to battle molestation in the Jewish Orthodox community, but it packs those messages in with other safety messages so that the kids don't view the issue as especially scary.  The main messages on molestation, as described in a recent article, are "that children should not keep secrets from parents, that their bodies belong to them, that there is a distinction between good touching and bad touching and that no one has the right to make them feel uncomfortable." The book also emphasizes that it is OK to just leave when an adult makes them feel uncomfortable, that they should reject an adult's request go somewhere alone, and that they should tell their parents if someone even asks them to keep a secret.  The pictures are happy though, and it talks a lot about stuff like street crossing, not playing with matches or appliances, and wearing a bike helmet, so I hope it makes the kids feel like this is just another unremarkable aspect of personal safety rather than some especially shameful thing.[/quote]
