In this seminar Jill will discuss how, if children are not educated about the importance of telling an adult they trust, the abuse can continue and escalate.  Ms. Starishevsky has prosecuted child abuse and sex crimes in New York City for more than a decade.  She will speak to us as an author who wants to prevent children from suffering in silence and prevent child sexual abuse through education.  Her book is geared to 3- to 10-year old children and was recently featured in Time Out New York Kids.

Did you know that studies show that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be molested?

In this important seminar parents will:

• Be provided with 10 tips to keep their children safe
• Address 3 big truths about child sexual abuse
• Discuss the cycle of silence
• Learn how to equip children as young as 3-years old how to learn the language and skills that can protect them from sexual predators

Jill Starishevsky is an Assistant District Attorney in New York City, where she has prosecuted hundreds of sex offenders and dedicated her career to seeking justice for victims of child abuse and sex crimes. Outside the courtroom, Jill’s fondness for writing led her to create thepoemlady.com, where she pens personalized pieces. Her mission to protect children, along with her penchant for poetry, inspired My Body Belongs to Me. A mother of two, Jill is also founder of HowsMyNanny.com, a service that enables parents to purchase a license plate for their child’s stroller so the public can report positive or negative nanny observations.

First Aid Training in 20 Minutes!

Learn How to Keep Your Children Safe.

Partners for Safety is proud to announce our newly released Step-By-Step CPR Training Program devoted to helping parents, grandparents, babysitters, friends — everyone — learn, review, and practice the latest CPR techniques and choking first aid for babies and children. As parents we were concerned about recalling what to do in a medical emergency. We realized we weren’t alone. Studies show that memory of CPR skills tends to deteriorate as early as three months after training — even among highly trained professionals like doctors and nurses.

We at babybites are very excited one of our new sponsors, Partners For Safety, has won a 2010 Mom's Best Award for their Step-By-Step Infant and Child CPR DVD.
