Td his book is written specifically for children between 3-10 years old. Junior REACT will help them to learn and understand how to stay safe and what to do on those occasions when they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. By going through the system step-by-step with their children parents can help them to understand how it works and learn exactly what to do if a stranger, or even someone they know approaches or touches them in an inappropriate manner. All caring parents want to protect their children without damaging their natural curiosity and openness, but as adults we also know that children will have to deal with unpleasant experiences in life such as dealing with the school bully, getting lost, understanding what sort of secrets it's OK to keep and what kind of things should never be kept a secret, and why hugs and kisses are OK from some people but not others.
Children are taught from an early age to speak when they are spoken to, not to answer back, to do as they are told and be obedient. However, children should also be taught, at the earliest possible time, to understand that their own safety is one of the most important things in their lives; that there are times when it's OK to answer back, that sometimes adults aren't always right and saying ‘NO' isn't always being naughty.
Young or old we all have a natural, built-in instinct to look after ourselves and, with a little help from the Junior REACT system, children will continue to develop this natural instinct for self-preservation into their adult life. Children have a right to be safe and as adults and parents it is our responsibility to make sure that happens. It is also our responsibility to teach and encourage them to develop their own methods of self-protection. It is a difficult dilemma for parents to decide how much information to give their youngsters. Just how do you explain to an already confused young child why sometimes it's OK to talk to strangers and sometimes it's not? REACT helps you find a way to explain just why some things are safe and some are definitely not. Feeling happy and feeling safe is their right - the stresses and strains of adulthood come all too soon
