0 Your body belongs to you, and you can say no to any touch that you do not want or that feels wrong, even a hug or a tickle from someone you know; you can offer a high-five or a wave instead. 1 Your private parts are the parts of your body covered by a swimsuit; nobody should touch them, ask you to touch theirs, or show you pictures of private parts, except a parent or carer helping keep you clean and healthy, or a doctor or nurse checking you with your parent or carer there. 2 Surprises and secrets are different: a surprise, like a birthday present, is happy and is told soon, while a secret that makes you feel worried or uncomfortable is a secret you should never keep. 4 If the first adult you tell does not listen, keep telling other trusted adults until someone helps; good adults want to know, so that they can keep you safe. 5 An adult told a boy in England that their touching games had to stay a secret; the boy felt confused and kept quiet for a long time, but when he finally told his teacher, it was stopped. 6 A girl in Australia said no loudly when an older child touched her in a way she did not like, and told her mum straight away; the adults made sure it never happened again. 7 Your body belongs to you. 8 You can say no to touches you do not want, even from people you know and love. 9 Private parts are the parts of the body covered by a swimsuit. 10 Nobody should touch your private parts except to keep you clean and healthy. 11 A doctor or nurse may check your body when your parent or carer is there. 12 Nobody should ask you to touch their private parts or show you pictures of private parts. 13 A surprise is happy and is told soon; a secret that makes you feel bad should be told. 14 An adult who asks a child to keep a secret about touching is breaking a safety rule. 15 If something feels wrong, you tell a trusted adult. 16 It is never the child's fault if someone breaks a body safety rule. 17 If one adult does not listen, you keep telling other trusted adults until someone helps. 18 Other people's bodies belong to them too, so we ask before hugging and stop when someone says no. 19 An adult who asks a child to keep a secret about touching is doing something wrong, and it is never the child's fault. 20 Telling a trusted adult is how unsafe touching gets stopped. ← previous Trusted adults and asking for helpnext → Strangers and tricky people↑ back to Everyday This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/57-my-body-belongs-to-me/
