SynopsisWhen children feel overwhelmed, angry, or unsafe at home or in school, they may see running away as a solution to their worries instead of what it really is - a dangerous way to avoid working out a problem. Written by an expert in child safety, this book provides kids with an important set of coping strategies to use on those - runaway days. Strategies include deep breathing, listening to gut instincts, seeking out and talking to trusted adults, and remembering they are loved - all of which will help them handle high-stress situations throughout life., Here's help for all adults who want to talk to young children about personal safety. Written by an expert in child safety, this full-color picture book teaches kids (and helps adults reinforce) seven important rules to personal safety in a nonthreatening way. It covers topics like safe versus harmful secrets, safe versus harmful touches, and the importance of having a community of trusted adults to turn to for help.
