Good Touch and Bad Touch awareness is an essential topic for children to learn about safety and boundaries. Here's a brief overview:
Good Touch:
- A good touch is a touch that makes you feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
- Examples include:
- Hugs from loved ones
- High-fives or fist bumps from friends
- Gentle pats on the back or shoulder
- Holding hands with a trusted adult
Bad Touch:
- A bad touch is a touch that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared, or hurt.
- Examples include:
- Touching private parts (areas covered by underwear)
- Unwanted hugs or kisses
- Touching that hurts or is rough
- Touching by someone you don't trust or don't know well
Important Reminders:
- Your body belongs to you, and you have the right to say "no" to any touch that makes you uncomfortable.
- Don't keep secrets about bad touches; tell a trusted adult (like a parent, teacher, or family member) right away.
- Remember, bad touches are never your fault.
Teaching children about Good Touch and Bad Touch helps them develop healthy boundaries, recognise potential dangers, and build confidence in communicating their feelings and needs.
