Abstract

A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identities, Sex Is a Funny Word is an essential resource about bodies, gender, and sexuality for children ages 8 to 10 as well as their parents and caregivers.

Much more than the "facts of life" or ?the birds and the bees," Sex Is a Funny Word opens up conversations between young people and their caregivers in a way that allows adults to convey their values and beliefs while providing information about boundaries, safety, and joy.

Sex Is a Funny Word is the first sex education book for this age group that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, and bisexual experience as well as gender creative and gender-nonconforming children. The book is also inclusive of trans and intersex bodies and lived experience.

Table of Contents: What is Sex?, Learning about Bodies, Boys, Girls, All of Us, Touch, Talking about Sex, Crushes, Love, and Relationships

Child Sexual Abuse-Prevention

Abstract

Parents always want to know how they can teach their children about personal safety without instilling fear and yet still get the important message across. Pattie Fitzgerald has taken her highly regarded children's curriculum and created Super Duper Safety School to do just that.

Written with empowering child-friendly language, the main character Sammy helps parents and kids start the dialog by using simple rules that make sense to children. Sammy explains each rule using a straight-forward concept of thumbs up and thumbs down awareness. Super Duper Safety School teaches children how to be the boss of their own body, how to watch out for tricky people and how they can be safe around people they know or don't know. Also included is a comprehensive Parent Education Guide to help parents understand their role and how they can significantly minimize the risks to their child.

Super Duper Safety School comes highly recommended by pediatricians, teachers and parents as a valuable resource in educating children with an effective approach that works!
