Courage to Tell

About the Book

Have you talked to your children about predators? One in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before the age of eighteen and never disclose their abuse. One in 4 girls will be raped in college What is your plan to protect your children? I was a victim of sexual abuse from the ages of six to eleven. I never told anyone. I do not want children to ever go through what I did. I talked to my three children from the age of three about anyone touching them inappropriately. My book will help parents to have a conversation with their children, and to “Tell, Tell, Tell” if anyone inappropriately touches them. Use this storybook to have that discussion with your children, and teach them. Knowledge is Power for our children.
