My Safe World. The Most Important Safety Rules for Children Aged 5 to 10

This is the first book in a new series by leading child safety expert in Russia, educator, and psychologist Lia Sharova. She knows how to truly reach a child and build a trusting dialogue with them, where adults do not... just ask questions but pose the right ones, encouraging reflection. Before talking about safety rules, it is important for the child not to be afraid of being 'inconvenient': to be able to attract attention in public places, to say 'no' to both adults and peers, and to turn back and leave in dangerous moments. It is equally important to teach them about personal boundaries - their own and others'. The ability to defend them helps resist provocations, refuse strangers, respect themselves and their loved ones, as well as argue and reconcile with friends without harming relationships. The book is structured so that the child gradually understands how to act in dangerous situations. The assignments, questions, and tests at the end will help consolidate new knowledge and turn it into confident skills.
