Description:
God Made All of Me starts from the
fundamental truth that God created everything and applies that truth---the
doctrine of creation---to kids and their bodies. It equips parents to talk with
both boys and girls about their bodies and to help them understand the
difference between the appropriate and inappropriate touch of others. God
Made All of Me allows families to build a first line of defense against
sexual abuse in the safety of their own homes.
My Review:
The authors have done a great job writing a book
that opens the door to educating children about their bodies and safety. Justin
and Lindsey Holcomb use scripture to introduce children to the idea that God
made them as amazing and wonderful people. In the story Mom and Dad teach their
children through conversation about their bodies, from nose to toes. As the
parents teach the kids they are in charge of their own bodies, they assure them
it's okay to say no, to tell, and to not keep secrets. At the end of the book
the authors included an excellent guide for parents on how to protect children
from sexual abuse.
Unfortunately, parents need to prepare their children to
protect themselves. God Made All of Me
opens the door to this difficult conversation. The authors do an excellent job
through text and pictures explaining how God created them and what parts of the
body are private. And they teach that if they don't want any part of their body
touched, it's okay. The authors have education and experience which makes them
a valuable resource for the topic. This book is a necessity, a copy should be
in every parent's and/or caretaker's library. 5+ stars
I received God Created Me in exchange for a fair
review.
