Lying to Our Children

It's horribly important to talk to your kids in an age appropriate manner, about bad touches and bad secrets, but that's not enough. My parents did that, and did it very well... Most victims don't tell because they are afraid, afraid of the consequences of telling.
Most of the time the books I review are fun reads. Not with this one. If I had my way, this book would be a mandatory read in all high schools and for all new parents.
