Dr. Molly Barrow, psychologist and author of the fascinating new children's book, Malia & Teacup - Awesome African Adventure, hopes all kids will be Salama Kids. Salama is swahili for "safe." In her very important book, the main character, Malia takes a journey of self discovery, and while visiting her father in Kenya, learns many important lessons. Dr. Barrow has infused self esteem building messages throughout this hilarious adventure story. Self esteem is the single most important factor for a child's safety, building their self worth to empower them to make the correct safety decisions. Building self esteem, and being a Salama Kid, will help keep children safe from predators and bullies. Children with high self esteem are less likely to drop out of school, or indulge and drug and alcohol abuse.
A Salama Kid Tells - Many children don't posses the self esteem to tell adults when their safety is in danger. This is a key factor for their self protection, to let others know there is a problem, and they are in a dangerous situation. They must know that it is okay to tell, and that with them telling they not only help themselves but other children as well.
