What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and avoids heavy sensitive topics. It focuses on mild social embarrassments or the frustrations of childhood (like chores or homework) in a way that is consistently safe and lighthearted. Any 'peril' is purely slapstick and metaphorical.
