Body Safety Conversation Guide

A calm, age-appropriate guide to help parents and carers talk to children about body safety, consent, and recognising unsafe situations.

What's inside

A four-page guide with age-appropriate scripts and conversation starters for discussing body safety with children. Covers: teaching correct anatomical names, explaining private body parts, the difference between safe and unsafe touch, the concept of consent, body autonomy (the right to say no to hugs or kisses), secrets versus surprises, and what to do if someone makes them feel uncomfortable. Includes guidance for each age group from toddlers to pre-teens.
