Brave little Bear is tool for anyone who believes that children's innocence is precious enough to be protected. But how do we talk to children without making it uncomfortable?

What people are saying about Brave Little Bear...
" Sensitively written, The Brave little Bear's messages reaches out to children in a way that no adult can. I believe Bear's thoughts 'you can be brave, find someone to share' will resinate with other children and encourage them to share. an excellent tool for psychologists, counsellors and parents, dealing with preciouslittle ones who have experienced sexual abuse".
Dr Jan monument - Clinical Psychologist
"Those who care for children - parents, guardians, teachers - have a huge influence on their lives. I speak to adults all over our country whose desire for children in their care is for them to be kept safe morally, spiritually, and physically, but who are concerned that they cannot always be present with the children in their care. How do we warn our children of danger, without frightening them? This is why Brave Little Bear is important. Xenia Schembri understands well the dual imperative of the need for education and the importance of protecting our children's innocence".
