The right time to talk to your children about sexual abuse, is right now. Today.

banr.jpg

 

You know it is important but it's almost as hard as the other sex talk. Discomfort about the right time and the right words can delay such conversations until the best time is long gone.   

  

 

In the spring of 2012, Talk About Touch: Alaska will be published, launching a prevention campaign for Alaska where the rate of sexual abuse is six times the national average.

 

 

Illustrated by Alaska artist, Patrick Minock, the setting of the story will be familiar to children in Alaska’s villages. 

 

 

Talk About Touch: Alaska will guide parents through the prevention lesson with the right words for right now. 

 

 

Sandy Kleven is also the author of The Right Touch: A read-aloud story to help prevent child sexual abuse.  It’s been a guide for parents since 1980.  See Beginnings for some background about Talk About Touch: Alaska.

 

 

Talk About Touch: Alaska is a small book against a big statistic but it’s a start.
