Being a parent of a young child, I often wondered how to teach my little one to speak up for herself. From the very first day she entered grade 3, she would come home with small complaints—“Mumma, this boy did this to me,” or “That girl didn’t play with me.” Even after explaining things to her many times, she still struggled to understand how to respond in such situations. That’s when I came across the book Stand Up For Yourself by Vandana Sehgal. The catchy title immediately grabbed my attention, and I decided to order it.
