Teaching young children about body boundaries, both theirs and others, is crucial to a childs growing sense of self, their confidence and how they should expect to be treated by others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them and to their body. It is equally important a child understands, from a very young age, they need to respect another persons body boundary and ask for their consent when entering their personal space. This book explores these concepts with children in a child friendly and easily understood manner, providing familiar scenarios for children to engage with and discuss. It is important that the reader and the child take the time required to unpack each scenario and explore what they mean both to the character in the book, who may not be respecting someones body boundary, and to the character who is being disrespected. It is through these vital discussions that children will learn the meaning of body boundaries, consent and respect. Learning these key social skills through such stories as Lets Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect and role modelling by significant adults can, importantly, carry forward into a childs teenage years and adult life.

  • Britt

    I love that this book helps parents teach about consent and boundaries in an age appropriate way. These conversations can be so hard, and I suspect are often avoided because we don’t want to take away our kiddos’ innocence or plant fear or mistrust, but it’s so crucial that

    The picture I have is on my phone, but it came in great shape, and I am thoroughly happy with the contents. Not just about protecting a child from predators, but also about respecting the boundaries of other children, youth, teens, and adults. It is a well rounded book

  • Robin Rimmer

    I just received this today and read it with my 6 year old daughter. She usually has a hard time focusing on story books that are longer, but the way this book was written it encouraged her to answer questions about the story and kept her engaged. She learned a lot from this

  • JA

    Great book for kids, bought for my 5 year old and she’s been a lot better with personal space we’ve also been talking about a personal bubble as well so that’s also helped. Gave it a 4/5 cause it’s a bit lengthy when I’d prefer the message be shorter and clearer but it
