What Love Is NOT teaches children how to recognize behavior that isn’t kind, safe, or loving—and shows them how to make wise choices.
Love is meant to be kind, patient, and respectful—but sometimes, kids see behavior that looks like love but actually isn’t. 
This book helps children understand:
🚫 That attention is not always love
🚫 When someone’s words or actions are hurtful or manipulative
🚫 The difference between healthy friendship, safe affection, and unsafe behavior
🚫 How to protect their hearts and respect themselves
 
Through conversation prompts, children learn:
How to recognize healthy, Godly love
How to set boundaries with friends and peers
How to speak up and ask for help when something feels wrong
That saying “no” is okay—and sometimes necessary
That real love is kind, respectful, and safe

It is written to help your child recognize the difference between love and lust. The entire 168-page 12-book series combined is also available for free download.
