My Tricky Eye-Spy
In 2018, there were several incidents of students being approached by strangers whilst travelling to school. The children’s book, My Tricky EYE-SPY! aims to help parents teach children the tools they need to keep them safe from people who may cause them harm. “It allows families to start conversations discussing exactly what their child would do if someone were to come up to them and offer them sweets, or ask them to help find their puppy," says author Kate Power. "Having a conversation about these imaginary scenarios and asking your child to think about how they would respond is almost like a dress rehearsal, the more times they do it, the more confident they will be if that time were ever to come."
