LEARNING ABOUT SAFE AND LEARNING ABOUT SAFE AND UNSAFE TOUCHESUNSAFE TOUCHES

SAFE TOUCHES• SAFE TOUCHES ARE TOUCHES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY

AND GOOD INSIDE. SOME SAFE TOUCHES ARE:

• A HUG FROM SOMEONE YOU TRUST

• A PAT ON THE BACK

• HOLDING HANDS WITH A FRIEND

UNSAFE TOUCHES• UNDSAFE TOUCHES ARE

TOUCHES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG.

• UNSAFE TOUCHES CAN MAKE YOU FEEL CONFUSED , SAD , SCARED, OR ANGRY.

KINDS OF UNSAFE TOUCHES

• HITTING IS ONE KIND OF UNSAFE TOUCH, BECAUSE HITTING HURTS.

• THERE IS ANOTHER KIND OF UNSAFE TOUCH THAT DOESN’T HURT THE SAME WAY HITTING DOES, BUT IT IS STILL WRONG

• WHEN SOMEONE TOUCHES YOUR PRIVATE PARTS, OR TRIES TO GET YOU TO TOUCH THEIR PRIVATE PARTS THAT IS ALSO AN UNSAFE TOUCH.

• EVERYONE HAS PRIVATE PARTS. YOUR PRIVATE PARTS ARE THE PARTS OF YOUR BODY THAT ARE COVERED UP BY YOUR BATHING SUITE. NO ONE SHOULD LOOK AT OR TOUCH YOUR PRIVATE PARTS.

Safe Touches:

• SOMETIMES A PARENT, DOCTOR OR NURSE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT OR TOUCH YOUR PRIVATE PARTS TO HELP TAKE CARE OF YOU. THESE ARE SAFE TOUCHES.

• IF SOMEONE TRIES TOUCH YOUR PRIVATE PARTS, OR MAKE YOU TOUCH THEIRS, YOU SHOULD YELL NO IN A BIG STRONG VOICE AND GET AWAY.

• SOMETIMES A PERSON THAT GIVES AN UNSAFE TOUCH TELLS YOU TO KEEP IT A SECRET. THAT PERSON MY TRY TO SCARE YOU OR GIVE YOU TREATS SO YOU WON’T TELL.

• YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TELL AN ADULT THAT YOU TRUST IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU AN UNSAFE TOUCH. THEY CAN PROTECT YOU.

Who to tell:• AN ADULT YOU TRUST COULD BE YOUR

MOM AND DAD, GRANDPARENTS, OR TEACHER.

Remember:• YOUR BODY IS

SPECIAL. IT BELONGS TO YOU AND NO ONE ELSE. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO GIVE YOU UNSAFE TOUCHES.
