Let's Talk about Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect: Teach Children about Body Ownership, Respect, Feelings, Choices and Recognizing Bullying Behaviors

It's a great book for small toddlers to learn about their body. And how to say no to someone else .

Must buy book to read for kids

Useful for kids for age group 5+ years

It's a beautiful book, explaining the topic in simple language with illustrations. My daughter is about to be 6. It's one of the must have books. Go for it.

Really nice book

It’s a wonderful book and has led to several conversations about consent and boundaries with our child.

Book is informative and good but the paper quality is low and easily tearable.

The book I received is definitely a photocopy of the original book. The cover of the book is bend and pages inside are of very very low quality . I mean its not worth more than 100 Rs.

I bought this book when I was a health teacher. It’s a wonderful resource to teach kids about their body autonomy and the power of their own "no" in a way that’s simple and empowering. The book does a brilliant job of breaking down concepts like consent and body bubbles. It encourages children to listen to their "safety sensations" and gives them the confidence to set boundaries with friends and family alike. It’s not just about their own space, though; it’s a fantastic tool for teaching kids how to recognise and respect the boundaries of those around them. With its inclusive illustrations and gentle tone, it’s a must have for any Australian classroom or home. It turns a potentially tricky subject into a series of positive life lessons, giving kids the right vocabulary to stay safe and feel in control.

You need to get this kinda books for your kids

I absolutely love this book. My daughter is only 21 months but it’s never too early to start introducing consent and respect! We read through it together, talk about the images and she’s now began repeating bits to me, for example I’ll point to the girl who doesn’t want a kiss and she will say “she’s sad” and when I ask why she replies “don’t want kiss, want hi five”. It shows me she is beginning to understand parts of the book, she has also started to tell us no if we ask for a hug or kiss and she’s not in the mood, which is great, as she’s learning her body is hers. As the book says “your body is yours, and you are the boss of it!”. I think this book is a great foundation and starting point for any parent. The illustrations are great too, although this probably is aimed at older children, it’s definitely engaging for toddlers thanks to the beautiful imagery!

Kalitesis

Our son's kila (preschool) had a rash of inappropriate body play start up. In an effort to teach our son correct boundaries, we started discussing body autonomy and safety at home, and we purchased this (and another book) as learning aids. We were pleased to see that the book does not impose prudish, overly strict or religiously-based morals: it simply discusses what is appropriate, what is safe, and how to identify if something might not be safe so that the child can take appropriate actions. My son immediately understood what the book was trying to say, and has been able to help other children in his school group as well. We also ended up bringing this book to his school, where it was used with the entire class. The teachers there said the book was great and were very grateful for the resource. I highly recommend this book if you've got a 3-5yo who needs age appropriate instruction on these topics.
