It's the most urgent and highly publicized issue facing America's family: how to teach our children to protect themselves in any situation. Based on the author's successful education workshop, which has been in operation since 1969 and has educated more than 50,000 parents and children nationwide, The Safe Child Book gives parents effective and non-threatening techniques for teaching children how to protect themselves without making them afraid. Written by one of the few nationally recognized authorities on the subject, The Safe Child Book provides a comprehensive educational program covering a wide range of topics that concern parents today, including sexual abuse, abduction, leaving children alone, surfing the Internet, school safety, and choosing a daycare center or babysitter.

Sherryll A. Kraizer was born on June 12, 1948, in San Antonio, Texas, United States. She is the daughter of Burton (a physician) and Phyllis Anne (a physician’s assistant; Maiden name. Ringer) Graves.
Kraizer attended Kansas State Teachers College in 1965-1967. In 1969 she graduated from Kansas State University as a Bachelor of Science (psychology), and a Master of Science in 1970. She continued postgraduate study at the University of Minnesota until 1973. Kraizer has a Doctor of Philosophy in education with a specialization in youth at risk and is an internationally recognized expert and author in the subject of child well-being including sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, bullying and interpersonal violence, and child safety.
Sherryll Kratzer's career has been focused on providing practical advice for parents on how to prevent child abuse and abductions. An educator and consultant, Kraizer published a book called Children Need to Knowin 1983, the same year that she appeared in Saying "No" to Strangers, an Emmy-winning television program produced in Denver, Colorado. In an editorial for Denver’s Rocky Mountain News, Walter Saunders noted that the special was a “positive, helpful aid for families” during a time when the community was reacting to the abduction of a local three-year-old girl.
The 1985 publication of Kratzer's The Safe Child Book drew national attention as a helpful handbook for parents. Roselle M. Lewis called it “a first-rate primer” and “intelligent, rational, and entirely useful” in an assessment of the book published in the Los Angeles Times, noting especially Kratzer's suggested technique of playing “what if” with children as a way to teach them appropriate responses to strangers. While New York Times reviewer Carol Tavis questioned why authors such as Kraizer do not “discuss the dangers to children of becoming too suspicious and frightened.” she called The Safe Child Book “among the more accurate, sensible and flexible of this genre.” A Publishers Weekly critic strongly recommended the work, stating flatly that “this book should be read by every parent with children between the ages of three and twelve.”
Kraizer is the founder and director of the Coalition for Children, a not-for-profit organization working to increase child safety, prevent child abuse, bullying, and interpersonal violence. She is the author of the Safe Child Program, the Take A Stand Program, the REACH, CHALLENGE and RECOVERY life skills programs, and other curricula used in schools, churches, recreation centers, foster care agencies and homes around the world. She is also the author of The Safe Child Book and 10 Days to a Bully-Proof Child.
As the founder and director of the Coalition for Children, Kraizer provides consulting on child abuse, bullying, special education, and institutional safety issues. She works with school districts, community organizations, and NGOs worldwide to help prevent and develop a response to child abuse and bullying, including a 20-year collaboration with the Women’s World Summit Foundation in Switzerland. She has authored numerous articles, books and curricula on recognizing, preventing and reporting bullying and child abuse, including sexual, physical, emotional, and neglect. Dr. Kraizer provides commentary for TV, radio and print media. She has served as a consultant and expert witness for plaintiffs and defendants since 1992.
