This book was created to help even the most skittish parent engage in an honest, positive and upbeat discussion about the dignity and respect with which our bodies are to be treated. Each beautifully illustrated page is designed to provide a launching pad for a family discussion about the topic of child safety, even while adhering to the highest notions of tzniyus(modesty).
Development of Talking About Private Places took place over a number of years during which some of the leading mental health professionals of our times, respected rabbis and community leaders generously shared their expertise and wisdom and graciously allowed Project Innocent Heart to turn their ideas into this wonderful book.
Project Innocent Heart is committed to significantly reducing the incidence of child victimization throughout our communities and has created comprehensive programs to generate awareness of the issue, heighten sensitivity to recognize signs of abuse and disseminate the knowledge necessary to make our communities safer. However, the single most effective element in reducing victimization among our precious children is talking to them about it in just the way it is presented in this book.
