All Preschool through 5th grade have
common themes and discussions about:

• Your body belongs to you, and you are in charge of your body

• Touches:

  • Safe: High Five, Fist Bump, Pat on the Back (Things that are fun, make you smile, are gentle & kind)

  • Sometimes Ok:
    Hugs (Only OK if one asks/the other person says yes & Only to family, friends & teachers) + Dealing with a "NO"
    Kisses (Only OK with family & during an appropriate time such as Hellos, Goodbyes, & Goodnight kisses)

  • Unsafe: Hitting, kicking, punching, biting, throwing thing at a person (Feelings associated: sad, angry, actual pain)
    & someone touching private parts when they're not supposed to (Feelings associated: sad, scared, yuck, gross, confused)

  • Private parts are parts of their body covered by their bathing suits and/or underwear. All humans have bottom private parts that are used when going to the bathroom. Some humans (mostly identified females) have a chest that is to be covered when in public spaces. Females cover their chest because when girls get older their chest can get bigger. Think about a mommy who has a baby, a mommy can feed a baby with their chest, a daddy cannot. That is one main difference.

  • Body Emergency: is when someone is touching their (minors) private parts, making them (minor) show their private parts when they do not need help or someone is making them(minor) look at or touch their (offender) private parts at any time. This rule counts for anyone who is a grownup, kid their own age, or an older kid.

    • It is only OK for caregivers at home OR identified safe adults per guardians to help them with privates when they are growing up & need help in the bathroom or showering. Most kids by 1st-2nd grade can wash their own bodies and just need support with their hair.

  • We do not keep secrets about someone touching private parts

    • Sometimes people want you to keep it a secret, why?

  • 3 step rule if we are having a body emergency: Say NO STOP, Run away, Tell a grownup

  • Who are safe adults at home & at school to report to?
