<p>An “incident” occurs in the boys’ toilet, involving Gary who is new to Miss Martin’s class. Miss Martin teaches her students the “five private rules” which are designed to help keep them safe at home, at school, in fact anywhere they go. "Gary just didn't know the rules" helps parents, carers and teachers address the issue of child-to-child sexual abuse. It is designed for adults to read to children to educate them about this subject in a safe, non-threatening manner and empowers children to help keep themselves safe. Included is information on how to respond to children engaged in problem sexual behaviours and also what to do if you receive a disclosure of abuse from a child. This book is the fourth in a series where Miss Martin introduces her students to Protective Education. One of the difficult aspects of being a parent is preparing your child for the potential challenges that exist in the world. How do you achieve this without scaring them, wrapping them in cotton wool or providing them with too much information? Protective Education is a proactive life-skills approach. By teaching children the language and principles of Protective Education, in a holistic and integrated way, they can acquire invaluable skills and strategies to identify unsafe situations and protect themselves from potential harm. With a strong foundation in empowering children and building resilience, the Safe4Kids Protective Education Program is not only a child abuse prevention education program, it can also be extended to embrace the crucial topics of bullying, drug awareness, and youth suicide prevention.</p>
