difficult topic -- the sexual abuse of young children. This gentle, thoughtful
story is meant to be read aloud by a trusted caregiver.In the story, young
Jimmy's mom explains the difference between touches that are positive and
touches that are secret, deceptive, or forced. She tells him how to resist
inappropriate touching, affirming that abuse is not the child's fault.The
introduction provides valuable information about sexual abuse and guidance on
what to do if your child experiences an abusive situation. Jody Bergsma's
delightful illustrations soften the impact of the story, yet this portrayal of a
dangerous situation is very realistic. If your child is old enough to sit still
and listen to a story, he or she is old enough for The Right Touch.Publisher
Marketing: Endorsed by many child abuse prevention programs and counselors, this read-aloud
storybook helps children to recognize and avoid inappropriate touching. By
validating the child's innate warning system, The Right Touch provides a
powerful tool for preventing sexual abuse.
