(Sexuality Training, Education, Protection for Parents of Preschoolers)

Dear Parent, This PROSTEPPP Parent Guide is for use with the PROSTEPPP curriculum and workshop training on childhood sexuality. The guide is meant to be used as a companion to the Parent Packet. It follows the curriculum outline for easy reference to information from the workshop. PROSTEPPP was first developed in May, 1993 to provide sexuality training and education to parents of preschoolers. A part of that training and education also focused on the prevention of sexual abuse among preschoolers. PROSTEPPP was originally made possible through a prevention grant from the Dane County Youth Commission in 1993. We would like to thank the Youth Commission for their support of PROSTEPPP. Funds that made the PROSTEPPP Parent Guide possible were provided by a grant from the 1993 Dane County Commission on Sensitive Crimes. We appreciate COSC's interest and help in making this guide available to PROSTEPPP parents and day care staff.   Lauri Nichols, MSSW PROSTEPPP Project Coordinator February, 1994 Revised June, 1996 by Julie Satkamp, MSSW Suzanne Bergen, M.A.
