Book excerpt: SchoolSafe, StreetSafe is jam packed with great information designed to help parents deal with the "Bully" and "Stranger" issues in a positive, empowering fashion. The strategies in this book aren't fear-based; they are meant to help parents instill confidence in their children. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" certainly applies to keeping our families safe. SchoolSafe, StreetSafe will help you train your child to avoid potentially dangerous situations and feel more confident and empowered. Your child will communicate more confidence in the way she carries herself. Because bullies and predators usually approach children who appear vulnerable, hesitant or fearful, they will be less likely to single out your confident, empowered child. Although violence is prevalent in modern society, there is plenty we can do to minimize the odds of it happening to our children. With the right preparation, the right training and the right mindset, the odds will be strongly stacked in your child's favor. SchoolSafe, StreetSafe unites the "what" with the "how" for a logical, easy-to-use guide to helping your children stay safe. If you keep your child in the dark regarding safety issues, she can grow up naïve and be easy prey for predators. In SchoolSafe, StreetSafe, Mr. Kovar discusses real-world, age-appropriate dangers in a calm, matter-of-fact fashion. He shows you how to explain to your child that while there are bad guys out there, the majority of people they meet are good. But to be safe, there are certain guidelines that they should always follow. SchoolSafe, StreetSafe gives you child safety tools and strategies in an intuitive format so that you will be able to begin to apply them immediately. We hope you'll find School Safe, Street Safe to be a valuable resource for years to come.

Book excerpt: "An excellent primer on what it means to live digitally. It should be required reading for adults trying to understand the next generation." -- Nicholas Negroponte, author of Being Digital The first generation of children who were born into and raised in the digital world are coming of age and reshaping the world in their image. Our economy, our politics, our culture, and even the shape of our family life are being transformed. But who are these wired young people? And what is the world they're creating going to look like? In this revised and updated edition, leading Internet and technology experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser offer a cutting-edge sociological portrait of these young people, who can seem, even to those merely a generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow. Exploring a broad range of issues -- privacy concerns, the psychological effects of information overload, and larger ethical issues raised by the fact that young people's social interactions, friendships, and civic activities are now mediated by digital technologies -- Born Digital is essential reading for parents, teachers, and the myriad of confused adults who want to understand the digital present and shape the digital future.

Download or read book Protecting the Gift written by Gavin De Becker and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I commit that by the end of this book, you'll 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 you're up to it."--Gavin de Becker In 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 children's safety. In this indispensable resource, de Becker provides keen insights into the behavior and strategies of predators. He offers practical new steps to enhance children's safety at every age level: specific questions parents can ask to screen effectively and evaluate baby-sitters, day-care 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 like--as opposed to what we might imagine it looks like--de Becker gives parents freedom from many common worries and unwarranted fears. 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. De Becker helps parents find some certainty about life's highest-stakes questions: How can I know ababy-sitter won't turn out to be someone who harms my child? What should I ask child-care professionals when I interview them? What's 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 children's 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."
