Maybe you've thought this late at night
- "I'm at work all day. I don't know what happens in my house when I'm not there."
- "Something about the way that uncle looks at her makes me uneasy, but I can't say anything."
- "The lesson teacher sits alone with my son three times a week."
- "If something happened, would my child even tell me?"
Dear Mummy, Dear Daddy,
When I was a little girl, something happened to me that should never happen to any child. I never told my parents.
Not because they didn't love me. I was afraid I would be blamed, afraid I would be beaten, afraid my parents would go and fight and everyone would know.
So I carried it alone. I wrote this book so your child never has to.
The danger is usually someone you know
Most children who are harmed are harmed by a relative, a family friend, a helper, a teacher or another child. And most of them never tell anyone.

You might be wondering
"Is this another online scam?"
This book is written by a real Nigerian woman who lived this and works with children every week. You get the PDF by instant download as soon as you pay.
"I've already told my child not to let anyone touch them."
That's where most parents stop. Foreign books don't understand house helps, lesson teachers, or family saying "let's settle it at home." This one does, and it shows you what to teach next.
"Will it work for my child?"
There are separate scripts for ages 3–5, 6–9 and 10–12, for boys and girls. It takes 15 minutes a day.

Questions
Is my child too young for this?
If your child can talk, they're old enough to start. The 3–5 scripts are short and simple.
Won't this scare my child?
No. You teach it like road safety, calmly and through games. Research on body safety lessons found they don't increase children's fear or anxiety.
How do I receive the book?
You'll get the PDF immediately after payment. Read it on your phone or print it.
My child is over 12. Is it still useful?
Yes. Use the 10–12 scripts and the sections on phones, peers and weekly check-ins.
We're not a Christian family. Will it work for us?
Yes. The closing prayer reflects the author's faith, but every lesson and rule works for any family.
