Genre: Children’s Fiction, Safety
Stay Safe with Ruby and Reuben by Sneha Sabu is a vital and interesting book that aims at helping children learn about safety in a fun and simple way. Ruby and Reuben are the two main characters in the story who help children learn about safety issues in their daily lives. The work helps children learn important concepts such as the distinction between good and bad touch, what to do if someone touches them inappropriately and how to avoid danger.
The pictures are colorful, cheerful and effective in conveying the main messages to the pre-school and primary school children. Ruby and Reuben are the two main characters of the story, and they help children feel comfortable as they discuss issues that may be uncomfortable or difficult to explain to them. This manner of explaining these crucial lessons does not scare, confuse or make children anxious.
Another positive aspect of the guide is that it simplifies difficult concepts for children. For instance, it explains the concepts of good touch and bad touch in a very simple way that even children can understand. These are delicate concerns that may be challenging for parents and other caregivers to explain, but the publication provides specific, applicable information that children can recall. This is because children will be able to participate in the activities such as identifying unsafe and safe behaviors which will make the lesson more effective.
Besides physical safety, the resource also offers many useful safety rules for real-life situations. Children are advised on what to do if a stranger offers them a ride, why it is crucial to walk to school with friends, and how to be careful in potentially dangerous places like a bus or a rickshaw. This way, children are able to protect themselves in the event of an emergency and are also able to identify and avoid danger.
What makes Stay Safe with Ruby and Reuben so useful is that it is interactive. Through the work, children are also made to remember emergency contact numbers, come up with secret words with their parents, and have discussions on safety plans; the guide not only educates children but also empowers them. This way, children and parents are encouraged to play an active part in the creation of a safer society.
Stay Safe with Ruby and Reuben is a great resource for parents, teachers and carers who want to teach children how to stay safe in different situations. The story is a narrative, a guide, and a game all at once, and it should be an essential part of any child’s education.
