This friendly little book acknowledges kids' fears and makes them aware of things they need in order to feel safe in different situations. They learn, for instance, to look both ways when crossing a road, to wear special clothing for sports, to know their parents' names, phone number, and emergency numbers, and many other details. A First Look At… is an easy-to-understand series of books for younger children. Each title explores emotional issues and discusses the questions such difficulties invariably raise among kids of preschool through early school age. Written by a psychotherapist and child counselor, each title promotes positive interaction among children, parents, and teachers. The books are written in simple, direct language that makes sense to younger kids. Each title also features a guide for parents on how to use the book, a glossary, suggested additional reading, and a list of resources. There are attractive full-color illustrations on every page. (Ages 4-7)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Smart not scared,
By lsforkids (Carver, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can Be Safe: A First Look at Safety (First Look at Books) (Paperback)
This book is great for normalizing personal safety. It works personal safety in with the usual "hold hands when crossing the street" type messages. The thing I love most about this book is that it addresses intuition the one thing that can really help keep kids safe. It DOESN'T promote the message that only strangers hurt you which is of vital importance. Kids learn best by repitition and this book lets you repeat information using colorful well done illustrations (notice the man bothering the little girl does not 'look' scary). It's a terrific tool and I highly recommend it as a way to introduce personal safety to young children.

Great for young children - a must have!,

This review is from: I Can Be Safe: A First Look at Safety (First Look at Books) (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to every parent with a young child. It covers lots of different kinds of safety, including that no one should touch you where your bathing suit covers. And stranger danger. There's nothing too scary for a small child, unlike some other "lesson" books I've bought, like a lesson book I bought on anger by Adolph Moser which said some people get so mad they kill. I didn't have to edit out anything in this book.

This review is from: I Can Be Safe: A First Look at Safety (First Look at Books) (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It helps teach kids what to do in certain uncomfortable situations without making them scared. My 4 1/2 year old loves it.
