Someone Should Have Told Me
 
Someone Should Have Told Me is a book for adults to share with children. It uses colourful, fun illustrations and simple statements prefaced by “Someone should have told me…,” to help adults talk to children about potential online and face-to-face dangers.
 
Key topics covered include:
 
children seeing pornography online
face-to-face and online grooming by predators
sexting and children exposing other children to pornography
questions to see whether children have understood the key concepts
information to support adults in their explanations of the potential dangers
what to do if a child has seen pornography
what to do if a child discloses that they have been abused
 
These are difficult conversations to have with children. However, it is important that they are aware of the potential dangers and know how to enhance their safety. Someone Should Have Told Me aims to help you have these conversations with children in a fun, non-confronting way.
