My Little Brave Voice Can Say No: Kid-friendly guide to saying no/Preventing child abuse through education/Empowering kids to set boundaries and stand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300481681)

As a young girl, I didn't have the privilege of a voice to protect me. There were no books, no gentle lessons, and no one to tell me that it was okay to say NO. From the age of 6 to 10, I suffered in silence at the hands of someone who took away my innocence. That pain still lingers, like a shadow in the corners of my mind.

But now, as a mother and a woman who has found her voice, I've made it my mission to ensure that my children-and yours-never endure the same pain.

This book is my gift to them and to every child who needs to be reminded that their voice is brave enough to say NO. Their voice is strong enough to speak up. It tells them that their bodies are precious, their boundaries matter, and they should never keep secrets from their parents.

It teaches children that speaking up, even when it feels scary, is the right thing to do and that they will never get in trouble for protecting themselves or for telling someone they trust when something feels wrong.

It took me four years to find my voice. You can imagine the damage-an ongoing battle I still fight today. As much as I wish I could go back in time to protect the little girl I once was, I can't. But what I can do is protect the little boys and girls of today.

Our children deserve to know they are not alone, that they are brave, and that their voices matter.

This book is a voice for them-a voice of courage, safety, and hope.
