What is good vs bad touch?

 

Watch the video together and discuss:  

[Parent] Without divulging names or details, share about a time when someone did or said something to you that made you feel uncomfortable. 

[Child] Who are the safe adults in your life you can go to for help, should you experience what you think might be a bad touch?  

[Both] Other than tangible touch, a person could make us feel uncomfortable about the safety of our bodies through what they say or do. Brainstorm a few situations and take turns to quiz each other whether that is okay or not. E.g.:  

  1. the nurse asks you to remove your clothes for a full body checkup 
  2. an uncle asks you to touch your private parts in front of him 
  3. a cousin shows you some photos of couples in intimate positions 

Key points

  • The difference between good and bad touch 
  • Bad touch can make you feel bad – both inside and outside, both emotionally and physically. 
  • Bad touch is when an unsafe person touches your body in ways that are wrong.  
  • Three things you can do if you encounter bad touch. 

Wrap it up: 

Private parts are precious parts of our body that should stay private. There are unfortunately certain persons who may do things to us that violates our privacy and makes us feel uncomfortable. If that happens, remember that you are not at fault and: 

  1. SHOUT for help 
  2. Say “STOP” 
  3. Tell a SAFE adult
