Strained relationships between law enforcement, the public, and the media have marked a difficult time in the past several years. This has created significant stress--not just for law enforcement, but for their family members. Protected But Scared is written for children of police officers to help them express their feelings and to help police parents and police departments understand how to help their beautiful children. This touching story can be enjoyed by all children, and used as a teaching aid by teachers, parents, grandparents, camp and club leaders, or anyone who cares about children dealing with stressful situations.

Fearful and sad, Christopher watches his dad put on his uniform and head out the door to protect him and others each day. What changed? Will the fear ever go away? Protected But Scared--how kids of first responders often feel!

Tania was three months from completing her Master's Degree at the University of Texas when she witnessed the dramatic and violent standoff between law enforcement and the Branch Davidian Cult in Waco, Texas. At that point, she knew her calling was to work with first responders and to focus on healing these warriors from the horrors of post-traumatic stress disorder. Tania spent the first ten years of her career working in a Level Two Trauma Emergency Department on weekend nights as she built her private practice during the week. In 2002, Tania transitioned to her private practice on a full-time basis and has dedicated her entire career to working with first responders and military members. Tania assisted with the aftermath of the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building bombing, the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Hurricane Katrina, the Dallas Police shootings, and numerous other incidents. Tania is referred to as the "warrior healer" by her colleagues, and she is passionate about her work. She wrote Protected But Scared for the children of police officers to help them express their feelings, and to help police parents and police departments understand how to help their beautiful children each time they placed on a uniform and left for work. Tania resides in Central Texas. Her loves include her family, her pets and fitness.
