Teaching young children about consent

This video talks about…

  1. What is consent
  2. How to support children to understand consent
  3. Boundaries for children and adults

Teaching children about consent from a young age helps them to understand that:

  • Their body belongs to them
  • They get to decide what happens to their body
  • No one should touch them without permission
  • Telling someone not to touch them is NOT rude
  • Consent means always choosing to respect others’ boundaries
  • Respecting someone’s boundaries shows that you care about them
