Consent for Kids: William Jeanes Memorial Library

Consent for Kids Story Time provides positive, health-based tools and messages about bodies and boundaries for children ages 3-8. Children will learn the proper terms for parts of their bodies, including genitals, to understand that their bodies are good and special. They will also learn the value of asking for permission before touching someone and respectfully accepting the person’s answer. Children are receptive to learning about body parts, health, and boundaries, making this an ideal time to lay the foundation for abuse prevention. We empower and protect our children when we teach them the language that helps them understand the world. We will read “The Bare Naked Book” by Kathy Stinson and complete an activity before ending our event with the book “C is for Consent” by Eleanor Morrison. Caregivers will gain tools and resources to continue safety conversations at home and as their child grows.
