Listen to Your Smart VoiceMichaela had been through two different child safety education programs in the year before she was kidnapped. I had read extensively on the subject myself, and we had discussed it extensively at home.
We obeyed all the child safety rules we had learned. We always used the buddy system, we had a family code word, we were cautious of strangers.
Then one day Michaela ran into a situation that hadn't been covered in the child safety programs. Nobody had ever thought to say, "If your scooter is not where you left it, don't go get it." So when that happened, she fell into the trap set for her by a child predator.
Listen to Your Smart Voice does think to cover that situation, what to do if your scooter, or bike, or ball or doll or anything else, is not where you left it. But every new missing child seems to show us yet another new way child predators lure our children. Nor could we possibly anticipate every environment in which our children might face danger, which makes it impossible for us to tell them every escape that might be available to them.
Because of this, it is important to teach our children to use their own intelligence. They need to be able to assess their own environment, make moment by moment decisions as to what they should or should not do. Listen to Your Smart Voice goes through numerous situations to help train their smart voice, and to help teach them to recognize and listen to that smart voice.
Listen to Your Smart Voice is available on amazon.com, or on this website.

Will child safety education scare my children?
Parents are often concerned that teaching children about child safety will scare them. It is my experience that most children aren't that easily frightened in this area. I can't tell you how many times I have heard of a child saying that if someone tried to kidnap them, they would "just kick him."
But rather than being frightening, I believe that Listen to Your Smart Voice is empowering for children. Yes, there are dangers in the world, but even children are not helpless, because they can think, they can be aware, they can be smart, and that can help them stay safe.
A child who knows how to listen to his smart voice is also less likely to give in to panic should he end up in real danger.
We don't worry that warning children to stay out of the street will cause them to have nightmares about being run over by a car, because we want to keep them safe, and we know that running out in the street is dangerous.
The danger from child predators is very real. It isn't just a story on the evening news. It doesn't only happen to other people's children. Child safety education can make the difference between life and death, and its lessons can last well past childhood.
