Sense

One of the most important aspects of teaching consent and boundaries is ensuring that children feel comfortable discussing their thoughts and experiences. 

Parents and caregivers should create an environment where children know they can ask questions and express concerns without fear of punishment. 

It is important to listen to children when they share their feelings and validate their emotions instead of dismissing or minimizing them. 

Using books, videos, and real-life scenarios to discuss consent in a child-friendly way helps reinforce these concepts. 

Praise and encouragement when a child asserts their boundaries help build confidence and reinforce positive behaviour. 


By fostering open communication, children feel empowered to speak up, ask for help when needed, and develop strong, respectful relationships throughout their lives
