Child Safety & Wellbeing Resources for Parents (Ages 5–10)

Guy & Cesar provides preventative child safety and wellbeing storybooks designed for children aged 5–10. Our approach helps parents introduce important topics calmly and clearly, including boundaries, speaking up, emotional awareness, online safety, and understanding difficult life events.

This page brings together practical guidance, recommended storybooks, and adult companion toolkits to help you support your child with confidence.

Why Early Conversations Matter

A compassionate story designed to help children process and understand illness within the family. Understanding Cancer supports open conversations about difficult topics while promoting emotional awareness, reassurance, and resilience.

Adult Companion Toolkits

Each Guy & Cesar storybook is supported by a structured adult companion toolkit. These toolkits provide observation guidance, safeguarding indicators, reflection prompts, and clear next steps to help parents approach sensitive topics with clarity and consistency.

Toolkits are designed to complement the storybooks and offer practical support beyond the story itself.
