Book Description

September 20, 2008 4 and up
Helping kids set healthy boundaries for their private parts can be a daunting and awkward task for parents, counselors and educators. Written from a kid s point of view, I Said No! makes this task a lot easier.
To help Zack cope with a real-life experience he had with a friend, he and his mom wrote a book to help prepare other kids to deal with a range of problematic situations. I Said No! uses kid-friendly language and illustrations to help parents and concerned adults give kids guidance they can understand, practice and use.
Using a simple, direct, decidedly non-icky approach that doesn't dumb down the issues involved, as well as an easy-to-use system to help kids rehearse and remember appropriate responses to help keep them safe, I Said No! covers a variety of topics, including:
What s appropriate and with whom.

How to deal with inappropriate behavior, bribes and threats.

When and where to go for help, and what to do if the people you re turning to for help don t listen.

Dealing with feelings of guilt and shame.

I feel CONFIDENT that my daughter will recognize a dangerous situation because of this book! My daughter is starting Kindergarten, so I figured it was time to start teaching her about the "dangers of the world", but in a kid-friendly and easy-to-understand way. Since there are several books on this subject, I read 4 of them - this one, Your Body Belongs to You, Those Are MY Private Parts, and Amazing You! I Said No! is the clear winner, in my opinion.

It was the first one I read, and none of the other 3 lived up to it. At first I thought it might be a little scary, and maybe too long. But I read it to my daughter in one sitting and she LOVED it. It wasn't scary at all! And she looks at it and wants me to read it again.

What I like about the book is this - it gives CLEAR examples (though not graphic) for the child including examples of bribes, threats, etc. that someone might use against them and how to recognize them. The other books seemed vague in this sense. It repeats examples of things that might happen and says "red flag!" Tells the child what to say and how to say it "NO! No way!" - Be loud and clear! DO: Get the heck out of there! Tell your mom or dad something happened that was very bad!"

The examples are wonderful because it covers so many situations. For example it says: WHAT IFS If your friend, brother, sister, cousin, uncle, aunt, grandparent, teacher, coach, stranger or anybody else...Asks you if they can see your privates or touch your privates...They might say "if you keep a secret I will buy you things!" They might say "If you keep this secret I will be your best friend" - What should you think? What should you say? What should you do? THINK: DANGER, RED FLAG! SAY: "No! No way!" Be loud and clear! DO: Get the heck out of there! Tell your mom or your dad something happened that was very bad." It talks about going to someone you trust, goes through a list of people, and if there is nobody to tell call 911, etc. It literally covers almost every situation you can think of. It tells the child it is not their fault, to tell someone they trust even if they feel funny about it. This book is 32 pages but was not too long for one sitting.

I found "Your Body Belongs to You" to be too short, and along with "Those are MY Private Parts" very vague and maybe for a younger child ages 2-3. "Amazing You" only had 1 page relating to keeping your parts private. The rest was very cute with cute drawings, but showed drawings of body parts, and talked about how babies are made and how babies are born, so not really what I was looking for. (It also skipped the part about HOW an egg is fertilized, so I will probably not buy this book when it is time for "the talk"!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for 5 and older. November 9, 2010
By LG
Format:Perfect Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great information and a lot of different scenerios to go over with your child. I like the way the book goes over a section and then poses a question for the reader to discuss with their child. It is too much information and confusing for under 5. I read parts of the book only to my 4 year old because it is a lot of information and the attention span isn't there yet. Great book overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend "I Said No!" March 4, 2009
Format:Perfect Paperback
As a mom of three young boys it has been a great fear of mine that any of my boys should ever be in a situation where their private parts are touched inappropriately. My husband and I have always discussed openly with each of them what behavior is appropriate and what to do if they are ever in a dangerous situation, but were uncertain whether or not we really covered every situation necessary. This book has been a tremendous guide in helping us to approach the topic with our boys fully and on a level that they can understand and are comfortable discussing. We shared the book with all three boys and then our two oldest boys read it individually once again. They said it was great and that they are very happy Zack was willing to share his story to help other boys and girls to know when to say NO!

3.0 out of 5 stars I said No
The book is informative for parents. However it did not keep my 5 year olds attention. I will use it as a tool, but not a book we will read together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Detail for Young Ones
Good for ages 4-5 and up. This book is detailed enough to make things crystal clear for even early elementary age children, yet doesn't scare the pants off them either. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Sooooooooooooooo Long!
This book is SO long. I cannot imagine reading it to my almost 5 year old... Might be okay for an older child, but honestly, it seems overboard.

This is a great book, it teaches many true to life lessons kids should hear. But it is for kids in elementary school, I think it says that in it. Read more
