What if we all reminded our kids to respect boundaries around affection and touch as often as we reminded them to stop picking their noses?
Or heck, WAY MORE often than we teach them about nose picking?
I'd way rather live in a world where a bunch of people picked their noses instead of a world where a bunch of people pressure their bodies on to others without their true enthusiastic consent.
In this video, learn how teaching children about body autonomy can protect them from unwanted touch and help them understand when it's okay to play and show affection.
In this video, you'll learn that hovering over our kids to protect them is not the best form of protection, as they need us to be connected with them so they can come to us as a refuge, and that the best protection we can offer them is connection.
In this video, the speaker discusses the confusion between respectful connections and ownership over women's bodies, and emphasizes the importance of teaching our children to be suspicious of aggressive behavior towards their bodies to distinguish safe and unsafe potential romantic partners.
