Do Children
Sexually Abuse Other Children?
by
Stop It Now, USA
£
This expanded and updated 18-page guidebook offers a clear,
positive discussion about actions adults can take to prevent harmful
sexual interactions between children. Studies show that
adolescents and children under the age of 18 are responsible for more
than a third of all sexually abusive acts, often without fully
understanding the impact or implications of their actions. This booklet
includes information about children and sexuality; a description of
behaviors that may suggest a risk, important ways adults can influence
appropriate behaviors and effective responses for everyone involved
when concerns arise or harmful sexual behaviors are identified. USA

problematic behaviour, then this book is for

A Guide
for Parents of Children Who Molest
by Eliana Gil, Ph.D
£
"I
hope this booklet will be useful to parents of children and adolescents
who molest. It has been my privilege to assist many parents of children
who molest, who struggled to overcome the pain of sexual abuse in their
family, and the challenge of stabilizing and developing healthy family
relationships.
I believe youngsters who molest can and must be
helped. Family members play an important role in providing the critical
combination of support, understanding, limit-setting and
accountability." More...

Healthy
Thinking Feeling Doing From the Inside Out : A Middle School Curriculum
for the Prevention of Violence,
Abuse and Other Problem Behaviors
by
Jack Pransky and Lori Carpenos
£
Why wait until kids are in trouble before teaching them skills they can
use to solve problems without violence? Why not teach these skills to
kids in middle schools, where they are trying out ways to meet their
emotional needs and find an identity? To answer these questions authors
Jack Pransky and Lori Carpenos wrote this curriculum, 3 years in
development. Its proactive stance encourages young people to envision
their own answers, to discuss them in a nonjudgmental environment, and
to evaluate the potential outcomes.
Each step is broken into parts: Thinking comes before actions. What we
think about ourselves and the world influences how we feel and what we
do. We can change how we look at the world by changing our thinking and
paying attention to our feelings.
