Read very 90s alarmist style. Had some core basics that I agree with-that it’s important to be intentional about teaching personal safety skills to kids and be sure to do so frequently over time. Didn’t agree with everything and almost felt author was trying to alarm the parents. But do think she had some good tips on how to teach children about these topics.
