It is designed to help children learn about body boundaries and learn to express themselves when they don't like something, even if that something is as benign as the tickles of a trusted adult. This book is an excellent general education for all children aged 3-8, that is not related to sexual abuse and trauma. The new second edition includes a ""Note to Parents"" section written by clinical child psychologist who discusses the issue and suggests ways that parents can help their children establish and maintain healthy physical boundaries.
