Child Safety Book List
In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, the Children's Justice Center has shared a list of titles they recommend for children.
Note to caregivers: We recommend that you preview books before reading them to children, and be prepared for questions they may have. Not all books cover all aspects of safety for children, so reading a variety of books helps you open doors of communication about many difficult topics. By reading these books with them, it affords children permission to talk about body parts and safety, and removes stigma from the topic. Start conversations with children about their bodies and body safety at their developmental level. Use correct names for all body parts - including genitalia - to empower children to tell you if they experience any inappropriate, uncomfortable, or confusing touches.
