It's MY Body has been written in order to help adults and preschool children talk about sexual abuse together in a way which minimizes embarrassment and fear, but emphasizes self-reliance and open communication. You will not find specific references and stories about sexual abuse in this book. Preschool children are not ready for detailed discussions of this issue. They are ready, however, to learn how their feelings can help them make decisions about sharing their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others. This kind of learning serves as a vital first step in the protection of children from sexual abuse. It's MY Body introduces two touching codes which children can use to protect themselves when they're uncomfortable. Popular with preschool teachers and pediatricians, who report children sometimes practice the protective phrases on siblings and dolls.

Written for very young children who may not yet have a firm grasp on the concept of death, this tender story uses simple, honest language to clarify that death is permanent, and that the child will never again be able to engage in favorite activities with his grandmother. The book makes clear that the loss of a grandparent is greater than that of a toy or pet, and assured kids that it is normal to feel angry, frightened, and sad when grieving. It also helps children distinguish between the emotional pain of grief and the physical pain they may have experienced during routine activities such as outdoor play. Carefully researched and reviewed by therapists who work with preschool and primary-age children, and with an introduction by a clinical psychologist, My Grandma Died offers practical, age-appropriate suggestions for coping with loss.
