Debi Pearl has published another revolutionary book in the Yell and Tell set, this one mainly for little girls. The first book was Samuel Learns to Yell and Tell, going through the issue of avoiding sexual maltreatment against little boys, while this book is called Sara Sue Learns To Yell And Tell. Sara Sue is specifically focused on girls in helping them be alert to questionable conduct by others. It is sad that our society has reached such a level of moral decay that a series like this is needed. Yet since it has, like Sara Sue states, "Those prepared are usually spared."
The title is slightly misleading. Sara Sue has by now discovered the way to yell and tell and, in the narrative, she is instructing her small sister Pearlie what she has learned. This delicate topic is dealt with unobtrusively but evidently and appropriately reaches this complicated stability. Again, Debi wrote the book as loose poetry, and it is beautifully illustrated with full page drawings.
In the story, the two girls are sent out to play together in the back yard. They plan to come up with hand puppets on the picnic table. Sara Sue uses the occasion to instruct her little sister in matters her mother or father has successfully taught her.
The first topic is reticence. Putting on dresses is womanly yet not appropriate when enjoying playground devices such as the slide. Wearing pantaloons under their dresses will keep boys from seeing what they shouldn't be looking at.
The second and greater theme is preventing sexual molestation which may be in the form of looking or touching her private parts, Sara Sue tells Pearlie. Far more severe exploitation is not pointed out however in case a kid is set for these issues, she will generally be guarded from deeper manipulation.
This portion of the book handles primarily on how to figure out improper requests or approaches. After which, it shows how to handle it. Debi clearly and strongly emphasizes telling a parent or an adult in charge. This is so important since often predators will try to convince a child not to tell anyone. Mothers and fathers are a child's principal defender, regardless of whether hands-on by means of looking through a book such as this to her, or actively by way of reaction to an issue that has occurred.
Of course, as the title states, under certain circumstances she needs to yell loudly for help, and Sara Sue is convinced that Pearlie knows how to do that!
The last area, prepared for mothers and fathers, is similar in both this and the preceding book in this collection. It conveys the reality that in most cases intimate transgressions originates from household members or dependable buddies. It also describes approaches to discover unsafe actions in other people. However Debi likewise cautions against dwelling in fear. Being alert does not mean mistrusting everyone or refusing to be friendly. It does mean avoiding situations that might appear questionable.
Intimate wrongdoing from a more mature child or grown up is simply too massive for a child to deal with. By looking through Yell And Tell with her regularly, she will be aware of harmful circumstances and become ready to yell for assistance and tell a guardian in the event that it is already crucial.
