Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane)

Gavin de Becker's clients include the U.S. government, Fortune 500 companies, and celebrities like Madonna and Tom Hanks. Now he shows how the theories he proposed in The Gift of Fear can become lessons for parents and caregivers who want to protect children. Taking his much-acclaimed theory about the empowering nature of intuition one step further, de Becker's "Protecting the Gift" is packed with insight and advice, including: How to recognize strategies used by sexual predators; How to prepare your child for that first walk to school - alone; How to deal with the media's glorification of violence and its effect on your child; How to deal with bullies - and much more.
