Coming Next Week: Guest Post by Jon Holsten, Author of The Swimsuit Lesson, and a Giveaway!
Attention: Parents of Young Children!
If you are the parent or grandparent of a young child, you won’t want to miss next week’s guest post by Jon Holsten, author of The Swimsuit Lesson.
As a life-long child protection advocate, Jon Holsten is an internationally recognized speaker and children’s book author. A retired police sergeant and child sex crimes investigator in Fort Collins, Colorado, Jon has investigated and helped successfully prosecute dozens of child sexual abuse cases.
His experiences on the front lines of law enforcement have led Jon to seek new ways to protect children from predators. His research and passion led him to create the wildly popular children’s book, The Swimsuit Lesson. Beautifully written and illustrated, The Swimsuit Lesson helps parents talk to their young children about privacy, modesty, and those who might do them harm. The book has been featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, numerous local media outlets, and even caught the attention of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Jon has written articles on child sexual abuse and prevention for Focus on the Family, Children’s Ministry Magazine, and other publications.

In conjunction with Jon’s post next week, I’ll be giving away a copy of his book, The Swimsuit Lesson. Everyone who posts a comment in response to Jon’s article will be entered into a random drawing for a beautiful hardcover copy of The Swimsuit Lesson. If you have a young child, this book should be a part of your home library. The Swimsuit Lesson includes a parents’ guide that will help you in using the book in the best possible way to teach your children about sexual abuse in a non-frightening way. Don’t be afraid to have this conversation with your child!
