Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
"I commit that by the end of this book, youll know more and be uncertain less; see more and deny less, accept more and hesitate less; act more and worry less. How can I be so sure? Because if nature selected you for the job of protecting a child, odds are youre up to it."Gavin de BeckerIn his groundbreaking bestseller The Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker showed millions of readers that like every creature on earth, human beings can predict violent behavior. Now, in Protecting the Gift, de Becker empowers parents to trust fully their own intuition when it comes to their childrens safety.In this indispensable resource, de Becker provides keen insights into the behavior and strategies of predators. He offers practical new steps to enhance childrens safety at every age level: specific questions parents can ask to screen effectively and evaluate babysitters, daycare services, schools, and doctors; a "Test of Twelve" safety skills children need before being alone in public; warning signs to help parents protect children from sexual abuse; and how to keep teenage girls and boys from unsafe situations with peers and adults. De Becker also shatters the myth that rules like Never Talk to Strangers will keep your children safe. By showing what danger really looks likeas opposed to what we might imagine it looks likede Becker gives parents freedom from many common worries and unwarranted fears.All parents face the same challenges when it comes to their childrens safety: whom to trust, whom to distrust, what to believe, what to doubt, what to fear, and what not to fear. De Becker helps parents find some certainty about lifes higheststakes questions:How can I know a babysitter wont turn out to be someone who harms my child?What should I ask childcare professionals when I interview them?Whats the best way to prepare my child for walking to school alone?How can my child be safer at school?How can I spot sexual predators?What should I do if my child is lost in public?How can I teach my child about risk without causing too much fear?What must my teenage daughter know in order to be safe?What must my teenage son know in order to be safe?And finally, in the face of all these questions, how can I reduce the worrying?A generation ago, in Baby and Child Care, Dr. Benjamin Spock told parents that they already possessed most of the important knowledge about their childrens health. Similarly, when it comes to predicting violence and protecting children, de Becker demonstrates that you already know most of what you need to know parents have, he says, "the wisdom of the species."
