Home and Family Counselling is launching a FREE E-Book which is generating a huge amount of interest in New Zealand.

Every adult is responsible for the safety and well-being of the children in their care. Caregivers can be mothers, fathers, grandparents,   and all members of extended family, neighbours and professional child care providers. As adults we have the responsibility to not only educate them about road, water and sun safety, we also have the responsibility to educate them about   keeping safe from sexual abuse.

SAY “NO” TO BOTTOM-GAMES is a  guide for Parents, Educators and Caregivers about how to talk about and protect children from sexual abuse.

Adults who are willing to tackle the topic of sexual abuse and want to learn how to discuss this with their children will find this book invaluable.

SAY ‘NO’ TO BOTTOM-GAMES is made up of two sections.

Section One explores simple ways that Parents, Educators and Caregivers can speak with their children about keeping safe from sexual abuse and gives ideas and strategies for how to do this.

Section Two is a collection of children’s stories put together as a resource for children as well as Parents, Educators and Caregivers. It offers age-appropriate stories, which are created to support the ideas suggested in Section One. The stories have simple drawings that can be easily downloaded and made up into colouring books for children.

Begin by introducing children to the ideas and concepts suggested in the parents guide Section One and help support your coaching by reading your children the stories in Section Two.
