The Left Out Child - The Importance of Making Friends

Available now in CD and eBook

New research shows that all likeable children behave in certain ways. These skills are not in-born but can be taught by parents, teachers and other caring adults. There is a language of likeability that some children cannot pick up by osmosis, but must learn. Not only does fitting and having friends feel good, it has numerous other advantages such as; better grades, healthier bodies, less stress, stay in school longer, make wiser choices concerning dangerous practices, more opportunities to learn social skills etc. Very valuable and timely information.

Caution Without Fear - Safeguarding Our Children From Sex Abuse and Finding Help If It Has Occurred

Available as an eBook

Parents are often shocked when told that among children under 12; one out of four girls and one out of ten boys (probably higher) have had a sexual encounter. Most parents think of sex abuse as molesting or rape, but actually it can include flashers, obscene phone calls, porno on the net or touches that confuse the child. Most incidences of potential abuse are not about a child’s life, health, virginity or innocence, but rather his/her dignity, trust and security.
