Everyone has a body boundary, and everyone’s body boundary needs to be respected.
This engaging and beautifully illustrated book will spark empowering conversations around body boundaries, consent and respect. Written in a child-friendly and easily understood manner, the text offers familiar scenarios for children to engage with and discuss.
We know that teaching young children about body boundaries, both theirs and others, is crucial to their growing sense of self-confidence and expectations of how they should be treated by others. Children will learn that they have a right to their own personal space, but just as importantly, they need to respect another’s body boundary and ask for consent when entering their personal space.
Included are in-depth Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators to further enhance the learning, and to initiate important conversations around body boundaries, consent and respect.
