FOREWORD

When one waits long enough, he is sure to receive what he waited for. This volume is the result of many years of contact with children, and is filled with information that is specifically geared to children of all ages. Additionally, it addresses safety problems in a way that will interest parents, thus generating a desire to understand the various problems facing children today. Throughout the book we find ourselves emotionally experiencing each problem and viewing children’s daily lives in a far different manner.

Each chapter is loaded with important commentary and advice, which, if followed, will shield children against the everyday dangers of kidnapping and assault—to name a few problems. The clear manner in which the author explains each problem and how to prepare for it is what makes this a most unusual volume. Problems that may arise when leaving a child home alone are discussed with clarity from a professional’s outlook, which provides the reader with a wealth of knowledge for coping with any situation that comes about. Problem areas faced by children are described in a lucid manner, followed by advice and suggestions relative to preparation and defense against any intrusion. Virtually every imaginable safety area is covered. One of the most vulnerable parts of any child’s day is the time he or she spends traveling between home and school. Every day, children must make their way through a myriad of traveling situations throughout which they must be aware of where they are, where they are going, and the people around them.
