Safety first! This book acknowledges kids' fears and all the big feelings they have, and makes them aware of things they need in order to feel safe in different situations--to look both ways when crossing a road, to wear protective clothing for sports, to know their parents' names, phone number, and emergency numbers, and many other details.
Parents, teachers, and gift givers will find:
- language that is simple, direct, and easy for young children to understand
- information how to be safe and self sufficient
- a book to help anyone develop a growth mindset
- a helpful book written by a psychotherapist and counselor
- a whole series of books for children to explore mental health and emotional issues
The A First Look At series are great classroom books and promote positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers, and encourage kids to ask questions and confront difficult social and emotional questions. Books feature appealing full-color illustrations on every page plus a page of advice to parents and teachers.
What parents and educators are saying:
- My four-year-old son and I love this book. It introduces many different aspects of being safe and provides questions for you to start conversations with your child.
- This introduces safety tips, such as simply crossing the street, yet ranges to scarier stuff (without being scary) such as strangers, private parts, and more. It even broaches the subject of intuition and having a bad feeling which I think is important. Very age appropriate!
- Teaches kids to respect and understand intuition (without using this word), and to get away from bad situations. It's a smartly written book. You will not regret your purchase.
- I bought this as a supplement for a safety unit I presented to elementary students. It was a great way for them to remember what our lesson was about. It's simple and gets to the point.
