Child sexual abuse occurs at alarming rates, yet many people find it challenging to discuss the topic with their children. Often parents and caregivers are afraid of scaring their child or introducing sex at a young age. The conversation is avoided and as a result, most childhood sexual abuse victims do not disclose their abuse in childhood. This book is an effort to make it easier for caregivers and children to talk about sexual abuse without scaring children, or prematurely giving them information on sex. It describes the "uh oh" feeling that causes children to freeze and normalizes this response, rather than shaming a child for not yelling and running away if abuse has happened. It also helps children and their parents to really understand what it means to be the Boss of Your Own Body and to understand that Secrets Are Not Safe.
