You want your child to know and practice appropriate body boundaries, self-regulation, and life values, but none of these behaviors are natural, and you don’t know how to start, what to say, or how to say it. That’s why I created the Can-Do Kids books. Written with TBRI® professional counselors and therapists, these brain-based books provide an easy, stress free way to start the hardest of conversations and provide a way for you to create an atmosphere of felt safety.

Absolutely you don’t want your child to be a victim of sexual abuse, but current statistics (National Child Traumatic Stress Network) are one in four girls and one in six boys will be abused by the time they are eighteen. Someone will talk to your child about sex and it’s your choice whether it’s you or not. You probably haven’t talked to your child about body boundaries and sexual abuse prevention because you are afraid of saying the wrong thing, you don’t have all the answers, and well…it’s a scary topic. You can relax because it doesn’t have to be. Today is the day to have the conversation and with My Body’s Mine you can do it with confidence and stress-free.

“Children do well when they can” – Ross Greene

And for them to do well, we need to help them learn expected behaviors, and self-regulation is a first step, and the goal is to be coregulated. 
In I Can Do That! I share strategies helping you to better understand your child’s behavior because it’s important to remember: Your child is not their behavior. When they are acting out, it didn’t come on suddenly, though it may appear so chronic stress impacts children’s behavior. By learning their triggers, you can be proactive in heading off their dysregulation. So, learn how both you and your child can self-regulate, creating peace in the home and on outings.

Relationships are key in life. How we relate to ourselves and to others determines our friendships. When you understand and practice life values you can engage in deeper and more meaningful relationships. And this understanding of how to relate to others starts in childhood, and the caregivers are the first role models. My Actions Matter provides a process to not only learn life values, speak with respect, listen and obey, cause no hurts, cooperate and compromise to name a few, but it provides scripts for the caregiver to repeat so you’ll know what to say when an unwanted behavior occurs.
