At our service we focus on teaching and repeating simple phrases that children can use, like “Stop, I don’t like that.” and “When you do that, I don’t feel safe”. We also create opportunities for discussion to help children understand when and how to use these phrases.

Great video! Very informative and covered some other excellent phrases children can use.

Here’s a list of books to support teaching body safety https://www.childsafety.gov.au/storybook.

We found that books are a helpful tool to open up discussions and help children understand these important concepts in a gentle way.
