Customer Reviews

Very informative

My wife found this to be very well written. It was recommended to her, and she was not disappointed with the knowledge she obtained from it.

EASY TO READ AND INFORMATIVE

KIDS HELPING KIDS is an easy to read presentation of children telling their stories of sexual abuse. The reader is witness to the frustration, shame, guilt, anger and hopelessness which permeates their lives. Its intent is to inform the public how pervasive a problem it is, to outline tell-tale signs for spotting such abuse, and to awaken awareness in victims of abuse on how to deal with the secrets they are hiding.

Educational & Inspriational

This book provides extensive practical advice for kids AND adults on how to deal with a very difficult subject. It has tremendous healing power for those who have been vicitimized, but it is an equally powerful tool for learning how to protect kids from this horrible fate in the first place. A must read for anyone with children or anyone who is responsible for children on a regular or even semi-regular basis.

Kids Helping Kids Break the Silence of Sexual Abuse

When I read "Kids," I thought "This book should be read by every parent, every educator and should be a part of every home and public library; it should be in every school and in every recovery or help center." "Kids" is packed with power. The power to help, the power to heal and the power to teach.This wonderful book serves as a tool to help children who have experienced sexual abuse recover; to feel good about themselves and to teach children that that they are NOT at fault and NOT alone when they have become victimized by sexual abuse. "Kids" may be read by young adults or by children when guided by a parent, a therapist or educator. "Kids" is also a powerful educational and PREVENTATIVE tool which parents and educators worldwide should use when teaching children about sexual abuse prevention.Read "Kids" as a recovery tool or as a preventative tool. I know of no other book on sexual abuse that can be utilized in this broad spectrum. Powerful, thought provoking and essential. Ms. Foltz is sure to reach and help millions of people with her work.
