Thanks so much for your excellent feedback on Off Limits, glad you found the material so helpful. I have written other books for parents on this topic, and they are available on my website, http://www.sandywurtele.com. Parents play a hugely important role in keeping children safe from sexual exploitation–keep up the great work! Sandy

This is such a powerful reminder –seems so simple and yet is to this day still so courageous to teach our children reverence for themselves and others. The numbers are astounding. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing

I just “stumbled” by from the hop, which is found on a page on my site that lists more than 200 hops, memes, and photo challenges… some for each day of the week. Check under the header for the link to that page. I’ve also just started a BlogFrog community that focuses on hops, carnivals, memes, and photo challenges. Go to http://theblogfrog.com/1504201 to visit & participate.
I hope you’ll visit me soon and follow back!

In reply to Pragmatic Mom. I like how Berkower suggests teachable moments in the bath, swimming pool, etc. to help us make this part of routine conversation.

In reply to Jenny. I think we are more uncomfortable then them! Maybe I got over some of it when I had to teach puberty in 5th grade. There's nothing quite like explaining "nocturnal emissions" and labeling the private parts on an overhead projector. Lots of discipline required not to giggle or blush.

I just had a conversation with my girls about this yesterday! Such an awkward topic (and that’s how I started my “talk”), but so necessary. I feel like this has been brought to my attention by so many people lately and I am glad, because I needed to take action.

Thanks for sharing Melissa!
