My Body! What I Say Goes!: Teach children body safety, safe/unsafe touch, private parts, secrets/surprises, consent, respect

A perfect book to teach kids about their body and safety

This is a very important book which must be explained and read with children. I read with my 6 year old. It is easy to understand. And gets the point accross.

This is a must have book for early learning and teaching kids regarding body safety. Colorful Illustrations cover both genders although somethings can't yet be explained to a 3 year old. The book will grow with child. It also has detailed instructions for parents on each of covered topics. It has about 40 pages. Got it at INR169.

This is a powerful book, but kids below 4 may not get it because of the language. It's not a story but like a manual. Illustrations are great. This book will grow with the child so definitely recommended.

The book is informative and is suitable for age group 4-6 years. Illustrations are good and the book provides clearcut instructions on how to act in unsafe situations. My kid enjoyed reading it.

Good content. Covers the topics well. Read it to my 4 year old. It is upto the parent to decide on how they want to discuss the topics with the child.

Good for teaching children about good and bad touch. Well illustrated and sensitively put across.

Simply put but very educating for the kids.. Even my 5year old loved it...

This book should be a basic part of every child’s library. If it was, the world would be a safer and better place for us all! Everyone should read this book to their children regularly. This book combats abuse in our society and teaches body knowledge and respect, which protects our children from predators. It helps children identify safe people in their lives and learn to not keep things secret but to tell trusted grown ups. I’m so glad I bought this book for my daughter. And I hope everyone buys it for their sons too! Because boys need this knowledge just as much as girls. It is inclusive and written for boys and girls, which I also love. This should really be a part of everyone everywhere’s library and read frequently to young children as early as they can be read to. Adults should really learn these basic ideas too. I’ve used this book now in counseling with my clients as well. Everyone appreciates this book and is grateful for its simple concepts which make so much sense. These books could really help our world be safer if everyone would read them and practice them.

Good

Tiene varias secciones. 1) sentimientos en general y sobre sentirse seguro o inseguro. 2) "Early Wranings Signs" y tener una red de adultos en lo que poder confiar. 3) sobre las partes privadas. 4) Diferencia entre sorpresas y secretos y 5) Espacio personal. Me pareció excelente para explicarle estas cosas tan delicadas a mis hijos. La mayor de 6 entendió perfecto y el de 3 poco pero es un comienzo. Al final tiene indicaciones para los padres sobre temas a discutir.

I enjoy the format of this book. It introduces a concept and follows it with a question. The beginning explains feelings and then poses questions to ask the child more about their own feelings. (There is an appendix in the back with further info on questions that can be posed). I like how it goes from exploring feelings to then discussing how we also know what feels safe or unsafe. I valued that real body part names like penis and vulva are used. I also really liked that a variety of people from different walks of life are shown. There are several core concepts taught that are so great. ie. How important it is to have adults you feel safe with to talk to if you feel unsafe, what the difference is between secrets and surprises, who your safety network is, what a safety bubble is on your body... Obviously this is a broad manual but the guardian of the child can easily make it personal and talk with the child about who THEIR network is. As someone who was surprised by a predator known to me when I was a child, I really believe that this book is a treasure. It can't identify every potential danger person but it teaches the important core concepts that when put together would allow a child to recognize when they feel unsafe and to take appropriate action. It's a great tool in the first steps of safety education. That being said, my 4 year old niece found it a bit overwhelming. She had a lot of fun answering questions but then lost interest quickly. So, I am putting the book away for a bit and will introduce it again in 6 months and where her attention span is then.

Great product
