For Parents
These books are designed to help parents and caregivers talk with children about boundaries in clear, calm, age-appropriate ways.
They are not about frightening children or asking them to share personal stories. They are about giving kids language, confidence, and reassurance—while keeping responsibility where it belongs: with adults.
What parents can expect
- Simple, permission-based statements children can understand
- Language that encourages kids to listen to their feelings
- No graphic details or adult scenarios
- Space to draw, color, and talk at a child’s pace
What this is not
- Not a lesson about “good” and “bad” people
- Not a prompt for children to disclose personal experiences
- Not a replacement for parental judgment or care
- Not fear-based or anxiety-driven
How to use the kids’ book
Sit with your child and read the statements aloud. Let them respond through drawing, coloring, or conversation.
Some children will talk; others will draw quietly. Both responses are normal and healthy.
Do not ask children to share personal experiences. The goal is confidence, not disclosure.
Age guidance
The kids’ book is recommended for Pre-K through 4th grade, with reading and discussion guided by a trusted adult. Older children may find the format simple, while younger children benefit most from shared reading.
For youth groups
As children grow older and participate in youth groups, camps, or church activities, boundaries continue to matter — and responsibility remains with adults.
The youth group companion book is designed to be read by teens, volunteers, youth pastors, and senior leadership together. It focuses on prevention, clear expectations, and shared responsibility, rather than placing the burden of safety on young people.
Parents are encouraged to ask how these materials are used, how leaders are trained, and how boundaries are supported in group settings.
For adults
The companion adult book is written for parents, caregivers, teachers, and leaders who want a clearer framework for understanding boundaries, power, and responsibility.
Teaching boundaries does not mean teaching fear. These materials are meant to support the caring, attentive work parents already do—by giving children simple language and steady reassurance that they are allowed to speak up and that adults are there to protect them.
