Some books

It is always heartbreaking, wrenching, gut-busting to hear or read about any sort of abuse.  However, child abuse, whether physical, verbal, emotional or sexual is extra heinous in my opinion. 

We have had come into our path these couple of books: http://www.yellandtellbooks.com/ by Debi Pearl.  On a personal note, I think the boys one is better written (and covers more ground) than the girls one, but I think they are a good starting point, even if it is just amongst  parents to start with, for talking with, about and empowering our children against sexual abuse - whether this abuse be physical, verbal or emotional.

I haven't had a good look around as to what else is available in this market, as something you could read/discuss with younger (2yrs up) children - but I will.  I think it is important to be able to put these resources out there and share then openly without any shame.  Thanks to the person who shared them with us!  It is really important to remember that this horrid, heinous thing does happen, and it can happen in ANY circles, not just in the world 'out there'.
