Sad Scared Confused.
Sad, Scared, Confused is a conversation between a nine year old boy and his parents about sexual abuse. This book can be a resource to educate all children about sexual abuse whether they have experienced it or not. In this book, Alex did not realize that when his friend's older brother touched him in a way that made him feel sad, scared and confused, it was sexual abuse. When he arrived home from his friend's house, he was not acting like himself. He went straight to his bedroom and refused to tell his parents what happened. He was scared and embarrassed and wanted to keep it to himself. However, his parents persisted. Through patience, love and even a sense of humor, they assured Alex that their love for him was greater than the pain he was holding inside. Once Alex was willing to talk about it, he grew from feeling sad, scared and confused to knowing that he was brave, safe and loved. I wrote this book not only for children but also for the adults who love them. Parents are always navigating their course when raising children. When sexual abuse happens, it may seem like an unexpected detour but it does not mean that your boat will sink! This book can be a compass to guide you through the rough waters of trauma and sexual abuse.

“Sad, Scared, Confused “is a very powerful story in its message.
Author brought out the today’s hot topic sexual abuse in a very narrative and interactive way. I really like how the parents in the story handle this issue with his son in a very informative manner and teach other parents how to deal when something wrong happens with their kids.

This book discusses the very difficult topic of child sexual abuse. Through a short story, the topic, and ways to talk about and deal with the subject are explored. There are also a list of "conversation starters" at the back of the book. Important story for anyone who has ever had to face this abuse.
