Thanks to Kidpower, our son stopped an older kid from molesting him by setting strong boundaries, leaving, and getting help.
After a sex offender moved into our neighborhood, Kidpower gave us tools to empower our kids without making them scared.
Kidpower’s 4 Boundary Rules
Teach kids: “We each belong to ourselves; Some things are not a choice; Problems or any kind of touch should NEVER be a secret; and Keep asking until you get help!”

Books to Help Protect Children and Teens From Sexual Abuse
The Kidpower Book for Caring Adults: Personal Safety, Self-Protection, Confidence, and Advocacy for Young People provides extensive information on how to protect children from sexual abuse, including clear explanations, inspiring stories, and step-by-step explanations about how to practice skills.
Kidpower and Fullpower Safety Comics and Curriculum Teaching Books give cartoon-illustrated tools for teaching and practicing “People Safety” skills that can stop most abuse by preparing kids to set boundaries and get help.
The Relationship Safety Skills Handbook is for teen and adult victims and potential victims of relationship violence (domestic violence), as well as the support people in their lives.
Books 4 and 5 of the Kidpower Teaching Book series specifically provide social stories and skill practices related to keeping kids safe from sexual abuse in a clear but age-appropriate way.
