I Won't , said Willow

Willow’s mum is at her wits’ end. Willow just won’t behave herself when visitors arrive. Why is she refusing to give Uncle Horrie or Aunt Terry a kiss? But Willow doesn’t like the way Horrie won’t stop tickling her when she says STOP. It feels wrong. And why does he cuddle so close, and tell her to keep it a secret? It’s not till Aunt Terry teaches Willow about good secrets and bad secrets that Willow feels brave enough to tell Mum all about it. What will Mum do? Will she help? The staggering number of reported child sexual assault (CSA) cases is increasing every year. It’s now more important than ever to arm our children with language and boundaries that empower them to protect themselves. Coupled with a handbook for parents and teachers, this engaging and insightful story will help you to create a space which allows children to feel comfortable resisting and disclosing potential or existing abuse. The handbook will equip you with the tools you need to actively listen and engage with what they say, and in a worst case to find the avenues of professional help the child needs.
