About Smarter Than The Scoopers

Product Description Give children "the scoop" on personal safety with this powerfully important story written to empower children with the skills and confidence needed to make right choices in their daily social interactions. SCOOP is an acronym to help children remember five personal safety strategies to keep them safe in everyday situations: be Smart, use your Call list, zerO talking to strangers, keep strangers Out of your personal space, and always Pair up. This book is an excellent tool to help parents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers equip children with safety skills to prevent child abduction. Written in a friendly, non-threatening manner, SCOOP takes a refreshingly empathetic approach to the topic of personal safety from a child's point of view. This new edition includes online safety tips, too! Includes helpful parent safety tips. Endorsed by Child Watch of North America and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Review Ever wonder how to open up a dialogue with your child about the dangers they face in the world today? Julia Cook has accomplished something a lot of people have unsuccessfully tried to do, entertain and educate. I like to call it "edutainment." Don't look it up in your dictionary… it's not there yet! SCOOP provides an empathic yet concrete approach to addressing the frightening subject of abduction. After reading this book, you'll see that Julia's experience as an educator and counselor is obvious. SCOOP opens up this subject without instilling fear by empowering the reader. It's a must read for all parents, children, and educators! I look forward to seeing many more books written using this style. -- Don Wood - Founder, Child Watch of North America About the Author Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
