About this title

Reviews

Wilderness training instructor Dana offers a safety curriculum guide primarily intended to educate latchkey children but also to rehearse all youngsters in self-care skills. She discusses many problems that arise inside and outside the home, including sibling rivalry, fire prevention, kitchen safety, first aid, sexual assault, and kidnapping. Though she sometimes overuses role-playing exercises, she wisely supplies a resource chapter listing approximately 200 activities to dispel boredom. Generally, this offers well-organized, accurate information, with up-to-date advice on, for example, superglue accidents, microwave ovens, and pit bulls.Janice Arenofsky, formerly with Arizona State Lib., Phoenix
