Let's Talk about Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect

Teaching young children about the boundaries of their own and others’ bodies is essential for them to develop their sense of identity, self-confidence, and how they should expect to be treated by others. Growing up knowing that they have the right to their own personal space allows them to take ownership and choose what happens to themselves and their body. It is also important for a child to understand from an early age that they must respect another person’s bodily boundaries and seek their consent when entering their personal space. This book explores these concepts with children in a friendly, easy-to-understand way, presenting familiar scenarios that children can engage with and discuss. It is important that the reader and child take the time to analyze each scenario and explore what it means for both the character in the book who may not respect someone’s body boundaries, and the character who is being disrespected. It is through these critical discussions that children will learn what body boundaries, consent, and respect mean. Learning these key social skills through stories like “Let’s Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent, and Respect” and the example set by some adults can, and importantly, continue throughout the child’s adolescence and adult life.
