Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent & Respect: A book to teach children about body ownership, respectful relationships, feelings and emotions, choices, and recognizing bullying behaviors

I found this at a great level for talking about body safety without going too far. Read to my 7 year old but also have used examples from the book with my 4 year old

Brought this for my 9 & 5 year old boys to discuss body boundaries. They often fight & wanted them to understand each other’s personal space. Very good read & brought about some good discussions. I use quotes from the book when they’re having trouble with each other. Doesn’t always work, both neurodivergent, but consistency will hopefully absorb into their minds! I want them to grow up & be consensual with their relationships, for themselves & others. Let’s raise good men!

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!

Very good book

Good Book….Quite Informative….

This book was brilliant, perfect for my 4 year old. It was'nt to heavy or complex. Made it very clear about boundaries, during every day life and having respect of other peoples space and choices and people respecting your choices! It is in regards to everything not just body boundaries, playing with toys, people asking you to play a game you may not want to. it teaches about your decisions and that people must listen to when you say yes or no. Great way to introduce respecting other people and people respecting them. I definitely recommend.

Good purchase.

This book gives some good introductory child relevant examples of times when boundaries and consent could be needed. It refers to boundaries and personal space which are described as body bubbles etc. My child practiced drawing her bubble around her and then said about times she felt like hers had been “popped” when people sometimes come too close etc. I am hoping it helps build her confidence to say no at times when she needs/ wants to.

You need to get this kinda books for your kids

All children should have this book! I read this to my 5 year old. It explains boundaries and consent in very easy to understand ways. NO SEX ever mentioned, but lays a great foundation for the future AND applies to so many other interactions children have with their peers (tag, hugging, sitting together, etc). It has lots of opportunities throughout the book to practice recognizing verbal and non verbal signs of consent. It also empowers children to say NO and teaches body safety. For my autistic son, something that was really helpful, was actually DESCRIBING the facial features and body language someone gives when they are saying "no" without words. This has helped him so much in playing with his baby sister! Must read for all parents/children. Educators should have this in their classroom.

Great book for young kids.
