Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Sep 2012 | ISBN-10: 1479147206 | ISBN-13: 978-1479147205
Answers the question parents often ask Kidpower, "How do I teach my kids to be safe with people while not scaring them?" Have fun while teaching kids to be safe from bullying, abuse, and violence. Young children will ask you to read this comic book again and again - and read and re-read it themselves once they can.

Entertaining cartoons and engaging social stories make it easy for adults to provide crucial knowledge and skills so their children can learn to be safe with people they know and with strangers.

This edition has a color cover, extensive black-and-white cartoons, and includes:
  1. Directions for adults on how to introduce personal safety to children ages 3 to 10.
  2. Social stories to discuss with children
  3. Basic "People Safety" skills for protecting emotional and physical well-being
  4. Solutions to potential problems such as bullying and stranger safety
The tools in this comic book are most appropriate for parents, teachers, and other caregivers introducing "People Safety" to children ages 3 to 10 who are usually with adults who can help them. However, the skills are important for people of any age - adults too! Older children often learn by reading and practicing with younger children. See also the "Kidpower Safety Comics for Adults with Older Kids Ages 9 to 13".

5.0 out of 5 stars makes safety fun not scary 23 Sep 2012
By L. Brown
Format:Paperback
There's a huge amount of useful information in this slim book. It works on two levels - the simple drawings and easy to follow stories are attractive to children, and the separate explanatory text makes it easy for their adults to ensure that the children understand how and when to use the safety rules. It's the kind of stuff that you think children ought to know (What do I do if a stranger talks to me? How do I get help if I'm being picked on in the playground? What do I do if I don't like how someone touches me?). The sad thing is that kids are still being bullied, abused and abducted so we need to help them by teaching them skills that give them the best chance of staying safe. But it tends to either not get taught, or adults scare kids without giving them the skills they need to become safer. This comic gives adults a brilliant and fun tool for teaching and practicing these skills with the children they care for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Age-appropriate tool with important safety skills kids enjoy practicing 25 Sep 2012
By Mom4Good - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have watched even very young children use the skills in this book to stop problems from growing. The Kidpower Trash Can is a big favorite. It gives kids a tool for protecting their feelings when others are saying mean things. The clear stranger safety and 'safety plan for being lost in the store' information has made vacations and trips a lot easier for our family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading For All Children and The Parents Who Love Them! 25 Sep 2012
By Rebecca Wolf - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I use the KidPower books with my preschoolers and my own children because the books convey important messages and specific strategies on how to be SAFE in this world. As an educator, I really appreciate the authors who have put this series together. I am sure it has saved countless lives already.

My students love learning various "KidPower" strategies to use when they are feeling angry, afraid, etc. In my preschool class, we read a page or two at a time and really tried to use the KidPower strategies and the language with them. Such as, if someone is teasing me, I have "walk away power" or if I want to hit someone I can use my "hands down power". So kid-friendly and really effective at teaching kids how to be aware of themselves and others in safe ways and how to set boundaries if needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kidpower Comics Make it Fun to Learn to be Safe! 11 Sep 2012
By Safety Advocate - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A wealth of learning is packed into this little book. My colleague used the directions and pictures in the book to teach skills to her children and their friends. Her daughter reads the book to their four-year-old son, and then acts out the stories to practice the skills. Kids really want this information!

If your child is becoming more independent, the Kidpower Older Kids Safety Comics: An Introduction to "People Safety" for Older Children Ages 9-13 and Their Adults is now available.

To learn how to make Kidpower's exceptional safety program part of your daily life, take a look at The Kidpower Book for Caring Adults: Personal Safety, Self-Protection, Confidence, and Advocacy for Young People (Volume 1)
