Part 2: Private Parts of Body / Telling an Adult

Materials: My Body Belongs to Me by Paul Glickman

• Read: My Body Belongs to Me. • Discuss: Private parts are the parts of our bodies that are covered by a

bathing suit. • Discuss: No one should touch the private parts of your body unless it’s to

check quickly to help you clean up or if your private parts hurt. This would be a grown-up like a parent or a doctor or nurse. If a doctor or nurse was checking you, your mom or dad or whoever usually takes you to the doctor would be there.

• Discuss: Tell an adult you trust if anyone: touches the private parts of your body, tries to touch the private parts of your body, makes you touch the private parts of their body, tries to make you touch the private parts of their body.

• Share: Each student identifies a grown-up they would tell if someone tried to touch their private parts

• Discuss: Always tell a grown-up about touching private parts, even if the person touching: tells you not to tell, says you’ll get in trouble, says that no one will believe you, says they will hurt you. If the grown-up you tell doesn’t believe you, tell another grown-up.

Lessons/Materials/Activities • Part 1: “Read The Most Important Rule of All” by Pam Church

• Discuss: “Good” touches make us feel happy; “uncomfortable” touches make us feel sad, weird, or yucky.

• Ask: What kind of face does someone make when a touch makes them feel happy? (Smile or laugh – you can tell they like it.) What kind of face does someone make when a touch makes them feel uncomfortable? (Sad, weird, or yucky – you can tell they don’t like it.)

• Discuss: Model “good” and “uncomfortable” touches – holding hand/gripping hand; high five/hitting; tagging/pushing; hugging/restraining; etc. After a few examples have students label modeled touches as “good” or “uncomfortable.”

• Discuss: If someone is touching you in a way you don’t like you need to say, “Stop, I don’t like it!” Model uncomfortable touches again and say, “Stop, I don’t like it!” and then tell an adult that it happened.

• Practice: All students practice, modeling in front of group: pretend to give good (high five, hand holding, pat on the back, etc.) and uncomfortable touches (hit, kick, pull hair, holding, hugging, etc.) to each student. For uncomfortable touches: Give an example. Then ask, “Is it okay with you? Students practice saying, “Stop, I don’t like it!” Have students show with their facial expression whether or not they like the touch. Ask classmates how they can tell whether the touch was comfortable or uncomfortable.

•When we get touches, we get feelings inside. •Good Touches give us Good Feelings

•Some touches can give us bad feelings inside. •Sad •Frightened •Unloved •Unwanted

Do you like to be tickled?

• How many of us do not like being tickled?

• For those of us who like to be tickled, is that a good touch or a bad touch?

• For those of us who do not like being tickled, is that a good touch or a bad touch?

Tickling!!

• Sometimes even when we think tickling is a good touch it can become a bad touch.

• Before we get started, can everyone give a thumbs up sign? How about a thumbs down sign?

• Good! Now if you like to be tickled then give a thumbs up and if you do not like to be tickled then give a thumbs down.

When tickling becomes a bad touch.

• It lasts to long

• It is too hard

• It starts to hurt

• You start to cry

• It gets hard to breathe

• You are being touched in your private areas

• Strangers are the ones that try to tickle you.

You make the call!!!

If you get a touch that you do not like what is it called?

A bad touch

You are the one who decides what makes you uncomfortable!

Make sure nobody touches you on your private parts except for your parents or doctor…

If someone gives you an uncomfortable touch, then who can you tell?

• Parents

• Grandparents

• Teacher

• Other trusted adults

Will it ever be your fault if someone tries to break a touching rule with you? No.

If it is not your fault, whose fault is it? THE PERSON WHO DOES THE TOUCHING.

They should know better.
