'Tricky People' by Crystal Hardstaff from The Gentle Counsellor is a children's book for parents and caregivers to read to their children about consent, body autonomy, what is and is not ok, the warning signs, who are safe people, and how to listen to their instincts when something or someone doesn't feel right. Stranger Danger is an old and outdated concept and using the language of Tricky People helps empower and protect children.
