Teaching young children about consent
This video talks about…
- What is consent
- How to support children to understand consent
- 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
