 No Private Parts Games allowed December 2, 2008

I just purchased this book for my five and three year old granddaughters.
I was very pleased with it and my granddaughters related to it strongly. At the bottom of each page it repeats "Those are MY private parts." As I read the book to them, they would repeat that phrase with vigor. It is simple and to the point in rhythmic rhymes with a message that noone is allowed to play games with you that involve your private parts. It also talks about the different people in a child's life and how none of them are allowed to touch their private parts. As sad as it is to acknowledge, most perpetrators of sexual molestration are someone the child knows and loves. This book reaches out to the child and lets them know that no matter who it is that does this kind of behavior, it is still not okay and not to be accepted. It shows them that they can speak out and tell someone they trust, so they can be protected. The book was excellent, and was perfect for the ages of my grandchildren. The issustrations drawn by a four year old had an powerful effect on them also. I would highly recommend it as a tool to help educate and protect and empower children. Being an abuse survivor myself, it is obvious to me that this book is a valuable source for children and adults to end the cycle of abuse.

The book was simple to follow, easy for the younger kids. But, it was a simple little, practically should be free, book. It was more like the type that should be given out at pre-school. The concept is great but they prey on our fears.
Every parent/guardian should have this, and so should teachers. November 20, 2008

As the non-offending parent of a three-year-old who was molested by her biological father, I have tried to find the best materials for my daughter and myself. This book is written in rhyme which children love. It is FUN to the child, but also makes them think. Although I believe it is intended for children who have not been abused, it actually resulted in my daughter "talking" about what her daddy did to her. That is a good thing when you know you are not supposed to ASK the child, or lead them, but yet you are instructed by the "professionals" to seek counseling and to TEACH THEM ABOUT GOOD AND BAD TOUCHES. I HIGHLY recommend this book and truly believe it should be required in daycares and early school years.

My daughter is 3 years old and when we read it, she gets to shout out "Those are my private parts!" She may be a little young for this, but I want to empower her as early as possible. I even heard her sing-songing around the house the other day "Those are my private parts, Those are my private parts." The statistics in the book are eye opening and so very sad. If you think that it is something that only happens to others, think again. Predators are everywhere, some even in your own family. Empower your little ones by giving them permission to say NO!
GREAT LESSONS!!! August 14, 2008

I read a lot of reviews befor I purchase products off this site. I have noticed that many parents have found books such as this one to be "too much". However, when I turn on the news and see yet another 3, 4, 5 year old little girl being taken advantage of, I figure reading to my own 5yr old daughter about these sorts of things now is by far the lesser of the two evils. I want my daughter to be as aware as possible. I feel that this book was a great addition to my collection of "Keeping Bitty Safe" books. It has a fun poem theme and is very informative. The subject of "touching" is a very hard subject to begin with and no matter what book you buy, it's not always going to be pretty when your child starts asking questions. HOwever, I think that this is a super lesson to teach children and I believe that reading a book to a child now is, as i mentioned before, a far lesser trauma to them than being abused. I would HIGHLY recommend this and any prevention book to any of my friends and other parents...
