About this product

Product Information

Safety skills for children outside the home Warning signs of sexual abuse How to screen baby-sitters and choose schools Strategies for keeping teenagers safe from violence All parents face the same challenges when it comes to their children's safety: whom to trust, whom to distrust, what to believe, what to doubt, what to fear, and what not to fear. In this empowering book, Gavin de Becker, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior and author of the monumental bestseller The Gift of Fear , offers practical new steps to enhance children's safety at every age level, giving you the tools you need to allow your kids freedom without losing sleep yourself. With daring and compassion, he shatters the widely held myths about danger and safety and helps parents find some certainty about life's highest-stakes questions: How can I know a baby-sitter won't turn out to be someone who harms my child? (see page 103) What should I ask child-care professionals when I interview them? (see page 137) What's the best way to prepare my child for walking to school alone? (see page 91) How can my child be safer at school? (see page 175) How can I spot sexual predators? (see page 148) What should I do if my child is lost in public? (see page 86) How can I teach my child about risk without causing too much fear? (see page 98) What must my teenage daughter know in order to be safe? (see page 191) What must my teenage son know in order to be safe? (see page 218) And finally, in the face of all these questions, how can I reduce the worrying? (see page 56)

Understanding your children in one book
This book was AMAZNG. It helps the reader learn a lot about being able to perdict the behavior of not only thier own children, but in other children too. Every parent on Earth should read this book because it will teach you what to look for in situations that may seem "unsafe" and it teaches you WHY you think they're unsafe. De Becker KNOWS what he is talking about. I've USED WHAT HE TEACHES in my own life now and I use what I've learned ON A DAILY BASIS. I've even learned WHY I USE TO BE afraid of heights. This book can save your LIFE. I reccomend this book to any parent out there who wants to "keep your children safe and [you] sane." I'd also recommend his other book, "The Gift of Fear" - that book is more applicable to singles... not parents. I wish I could wear a sign that said "Read 'The Gift of Fear' and 'Protecting the Gift' I will pay you if you do." This book is so important to read... I can't describe in words how important this book is!!!! READ THIS BOOK AND "THE GIFT OF FEAR"!!!Read full review

A “must read” book about personal safety. It saved my life!
Not long after reading this book years ago I was followed from my parking garage. I might have ignored my uneasy feelings but instead I ran and called the police. It saved my life! It turned out that the man following me was wanted for the murder of a woman in my building just before I moved in.
