Resilience is a delightful rhyming story with lovely illustrations. Children can really connect with the text as they have all experienced and overcome some of life's challenges explored in the story - such as learning to walk, swim, ride a bike or start school! There are guiding discussion questions for each page of the book to help teachers and families explore the qualities of resilience and bravery. The guiding questions provide great ideas for conversations with children, with a focus on resilience and being brave when things feel hard. I highly recommend this story for all children, particularly those who...

What a brilliant book. The concepts of respect and consent are explained so clearly, with relevant examples for kids. My girls are 3 and 5 and they loved it and understood it well. Should be a mandatory topic in schools. Can't recommend this book highly enough! Dr Marnie Cumner, D. Psych. (Clinical Neuropsychology) MAPS, CCN Clinical Neuropshychologist View Product

Duncan Crowder - Year 4 Teacher
My year 4 team, consisting of three classes, ran the Educate2empower Body Safety program using the Primary/Elementary School Teacher's Resource Kit. It was absolutely the best program for these children. It dealt with confronting issues in a very positive and sensitive way. Over the year, we implemented many of the concepts and vocabularies, and found that the program made a significant and positive change to the children's behaviour and attitudes towards themselves and others.

As a child abuse prevention educator and former detective, I’ve reviewed a lot of resources over the years and Jayneen Sanders’ books are consistently among the best. Her stories are thoughtful, empowering, and developmentally appropriate, making difficult topics accessible for both children and the adults guiding them. I recommend her work to families regularly and truly value the contribution she’s making to children’s safety and wellbeing. Her books are more than stories, they’re essential tools for prevention, connection, and education and a must have in every family's library.

Bali Mother and Baby House
We look after children and women who have nowhere else to go. These books were extremely helpful to the young women in our care who had not been informed of body safety and education. They found the language easy to understand and were not embarrassed about the content due to the non-patronising tone. They told me they felt more knowledgeable and in control after reading the books. We read ‘No means no’ to our younger children - boys and girls. They relished the information from Educate2Empower and our House echoed with ‘no means no’. I am positive this early education...
