Buy NowI purchased Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure Show on disc late 2020. I play this for my children regularly, as I use it as a tool with my ASD child (as his self-regulation can sometimes challenge socially acceptable behaviour standards). It is incredibly useful/powerful, and really has changed our lives. I rave about it to parents struggling with early childhood boundaries and self-regulation (so not just for sexual abuse body safety). It turned our story around within a matter of 2 weeks and the message is fairly resilient over time. Thank you for all you have done for my family.
