		<description>I think you&#039;re on the right track that age-appropriate discussions with children are ongoing.  I don&#039;t know of resources for this, but I do know of another important resource going along with this.

There is an excellent children&#039;s book to help children who it is either known, or suspected, are being sexually abused. It is a faith-based book, but the authors are careful to tell the story itself in a way children can apply their own faith if they choose. They included the faith element because it is the child&#039;s real story, fictionally told, and he relied on faith to help him, and also because many children are silenced by abusers by using faith as a weapon. The book is easy to read, small and discreet in size, and something children will be attracted to and will want to read. The first in a series of four. It has already been added to Resource Lists in many places (not faith based) and is a safe and tasteful tool to help children share.
Entitled David&#039;s Sword by David, Lee and Marybeth Elliott, it can be purchased at any bookstore in the U.S. or you may visit David&#039;s Sword Dot Com for an autographed copy.</description>
