Online Training: Stewards of Children

In addition to being an online provider, I am also an online consumer.  There is an awful lot of useful information out there on the web!  During some research I was doing on child sexual abuse I discovered a training called "Stewards of Children" on a site called Darkness to Light, a recognized site on the issue.  The training is billed as something for any average person to take (especially parents) to learn how to protect children from being abused.  It contains a lot of great material and good ideas; I don't think there is anything there that can't be found elsewhere on the internet, although it's nice to have it all compiled in one place.  It takes a few hours to complete (you can do it over several days), and it costs $10.  If you want to save the ten-spot you can do your own reading; otherwise, it's certainly a helpful training to view.

    1. What kind of materials are you looking for? Perhaps I know of some other useful things...

    2. I don't have anything specific in mind. I just like to be familiar with materials on a range of topics, just in case families request something I haven't encountered before. This falls into that category, so I look forward to checking it out.

  2. You may want to check out Channing-Bete.com. They have a multitude of booklets on all kinds of topics (bullying, health, parenting skills...) and you can order free samples (since they usually sell in bulk).
