Description
Your Body Belongs to You This book helps children understand their bodies and boundaries. A therapist explains that a child's body is their own and that it's okay to say no to hugs or kisses, even from someone they love. The book also defines private parts and stresses the importance of telling if someone tries to touch them. The author wants children to feel safe and in control of their own bodies. She encourages them to be friends with others, even if they don't want a hug or kiss right now. This book is a reassuring guide for children who may be struggling with feelings about their bodies or boundaries. With clear and simple language, this book helps children develop a positive understanding of themselves and their bodies.
