If this book helps even one family protect their child from abuse and neglect at the hands of a caregiver, then this publication has been an overwhelming success.
Having looked everywhere for a similar guide for screening and selecting a responsible caregiver, and after not being able to find anything to help parents know how to provide their child with the best and safest care possible, I was prompted to write this book.
As you read through this book it is imperative that you understand why steps are taken, why questions are asked, and the importance of teaching your child about their safety and security.
Children need to be safe and secure and it is your responsibility as a parent and as a human being to teach them and educate them about exactly what abuse and neglect is.
You must establish a relationship with your child and create a nurturing and stable environment for them to open up and talk with you.
It is also important for you to take the time to listen to them anytime they feel they want to talk, regardless of what you are doing.
If you take the time and put your child before anything else you have going on in your life you will find that they will come to you whenever they have a problem, before it’s too late.
You will also discover how to recognize a problem with your caregiver and what you can do about it to resolve the problem.
