Publisher's Summary

Crime facts: According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States. This book provides the information your child needs to spot those dangerous situations before they have a chance to materialize.

Parents get: A step-by-step guide to teaching children how to safely engage with and accurately interpret their surroundings.

Kids benefit: Tosses out the concept of “stranger danger”. Focuses instead on the process of understanding normal behavior for the purpose of spotting potentially dangerous situations and how to avoid them.

Parents grow: Recognize your children’s fear and confront those fears in a manner that encourages teamwork and effective communication.

Confidence: This book gives parents the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their children have basic situational awareness skills, have a plan if danger appears, and that their children can clearly communicate with adults.

What the critics say

"A brief, practical manual for parents and caregivers who want to help children identify and safely respond to dangerous situations. As the book goes on, readers are sure to gain confidence in their own ability to sensibly safeguard their young ones."—Kirkus Reviews

"Exceptionally well written, comprehensively informative, impressively organized and presented, "Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your Kids: Teaching Situational Awareness To Keep Children Safe" is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to family and community library Parenting & Public Safety collections."—Midwest Reviews

"Gary’s latest book, Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your Kids, is an amazing piece of work that can prepare your children for the unexpected dangers they may one-day face. Given that there is an epidemic of child sex trafficking right here in the United States, our children need to be educated about the importance of situational awareness, but parents and caregivers need to provide that education in a manner that won’t completely terrify them. This book does an incredible job of giving adults the tools they need to do just that. Gary sets forth lessons that instill the basics of situational awareness in a way that is fun and engaging for both adults and kids. If there is a child in your life who you care about, please read this book."—Craig Sawyer, founder of “Veterans for Child Rescue,” former Navy SEAL, DEVGRU sniper
