When Kindness Starts Feeling Wrong (Paperback)

Paperback. Kindness should feel safe. But what happens when attention, gifts, secrets, or affection begin to feel wrong?When Kindness Starts Feeling Wrong is a carefully written picture book that helps children ages 6-8 understand grooming, personal boundaries, private zones, unsafe touch, and the importance of telling a safe adult.Through four realistic stories, children see that unsafe behavior can come from anyone-including relatives, trusted adults, older children, leaders, or people met online. Each child recognizes the danger and tells at a different stage, showing readers that there is no "perfect" time or perfect way to speak up.Most importantly, children learn: - Their body belongs to them.- Gifts, affection, or attention never purchase access to their body.- Freezing, remaining silent, or waiting to tell is never their fault.- It is never too late to ask for help.- If one adult does not listen, they should keep telling until someone does.Written by father and survivor J.E.Treadway, this book was created to help families begin a difficult but necessary conversation with honesty, care, and age-appropriate language. The stories are non-graphic, thoughtfully illustrated, and supported by discussion questions and guidance for adults.This is more than a book about recognizing danger. It is a book about giving children words, helping adults listen, and reminding every survivor-young or grown-that they deserve to be believed, protected, and helped. This item is printed on demand.
