Body Safety Education Preschool Teacher's Resource Kit

Everything you need to teach Body Safety, Respectful Relationships and Gender Equality to the children in your care!

This comprehensive Teacher's Resource Kit has been carefully designed to ensure that the teaching of Body Safety, Respectful Relationships and Gender Equality to children in preschool is simple, age-appropriate and empowering.

THROUGH THE 10 BODY SAFETY LESSONS THE CHILDREN WILL LEARN THAT:

• they have rights in relation to their body
• some parts of their body are private
• if someone does touch their private parts, asks them to touch their private parts, shows them their private parts or shows them images of private parts that they should tell a trusted adult and keep on telling until they are believed
• there are secrets, such as someone touching their private parts, that should never ever be kept.

In these lessons children will:

• discuss emotions and feelings such as happy, sad, angry, worried, etc.
• talk about what it is like to feel 'safe' and 'unsafe'
• discuss their Early Warning Signs
• discuss 'body boundaries', consent and respect
• identify trusted adults that they could go to if they are feeling unsafe (a Safety Network)
• identify all body parts, including private body parts and private zones
• discuss secrets and surprises, and how secrets that make them feel bad or uncomfortable should never be kept.

THROUGH THE 5 RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND GENDER EQUALITY LESSONS THE CHILDREN WILL UNDERSTAND THAT:

• kindness and empathy are important traits for the well-being of all
• we all have a body boundary which others need to respect
• it is important to respect each other's feelings, ideas and opinions
• in all the big ways, people are more the same than they are different.

In these lessons children will:

• discuss the terms 'empathy and kindness' and identify their meanings
