Every time I put this book down because I get to anxious reading about all the bad scenarios a child can get into, I pick up another piece of valuable information. ( ) To me, the most interesting part of the book was the beginning, when he discusses how often people fail to listen to their instincts or voices of doubt before tragedy strikes. The babysitter who seemed distracted, the neighbor who seemed slightly creepy, the person n the store who struck up too long a conversation, etc. He discusses strategies used by predators, such “forced teaming” (trying to establish a bond, like having a shared interest) and not taking no for an answer, as well as common-sense strategies. For both children and adult women who need assistance, he suggests asking a woman for help rather than waiting to be approached by someone offering help. In the second half of the book, he gets in details like choosing a pediatrician, school, babysitter, etc. for your child and suggests a level of scrutiny that many people (myself included) will find excessive. Still, the viewpoint is a useful one and I would encourage other parents to read the book; even if you don’t agree with it completely, you’ll learn something. This book gives very practical advice on keeping children (and adults) safe, but it is not alarmist. It does not aim to "freak out" parents, rather it just makes you aware of some dangers, and lets you know what you can do to stay safe. In this regard it is actually empowering, which takes away a lot of fear. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

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?
