To the Editor: 

The recent tragedy of Samantha Runnion reminds me that there is a wonderful workbook available for elementary-school-age children and their parents called Know & Tell: A Child Abuse Prevention Workbook for Parents and Young Children, by Yvette Lehman.  

The workbook, written in progressively intimate language that is warm and nonthreatening, offers a simple, step-by-step way for children to learn how to assess possibly dangerous situations and a tells how to deal with the confusion and fear associated with them.  

I highly recommend it to be used by families and schools. The author can be reached at 647-3442 or at yklehman@earthlink.net.
