Talking to children about body safety, tricky people, and trusting their body's messages and gut feelings can feel overwhelming. As parents, we want to get it just right to protect our children - making sure they feel informed, empowered, and safe, without causing unnecessary fear.
Take the stress out of navigating this tricky but important topic with a little help from Sandy the Safe Mermaid!
This real letter from Sandy the mermaid, delivered by ‘snail mail’ straight to your child’s post box, makes learning about body safety easy, engaging, and age-appropriate. Written by an Early Childhood Educator in consultation with a psychologist, it helps children understand the difference between secrets and surprises, about how to recognise tricky behaviour, and trust their instincts and even how safe grown-ups can turn into tricky people and what to do - all woven through a captivating undersea adventure.
