Teaching young children about body boundaries, both theirs and others, is crucial to a child's growing sense of self, their confidence and how they should expect to be treated by others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them and to their body. It is equally important a child understands, from a very young age, they need to respect another person's body boundary and ask for their consent when entering their personal space. This book explores these concepts with children in a child-friendly and easily-understood manner, providing familiar scenarios for children to engage with and discuss. It is important that the reader and the child take the time required to unpack each scenario and explore what they mean both to the character in the book, who may not be respecting someone's body boundary, and to the character who is being disrespected. It is through these vital discussions that children will learn the meaning of body boundaries, consent and respect. Learning these key social skills through such stories as 'Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect' and role-modelling by significant adults can, importantly, carry forward into a child's teenage years and adult life.

Received a very low quality of paper
The book I received is definitely a photocopy of the original book. The cover of the book is bend and pages inside are of very very low quality . I mean its not worth more than 100 Rs.

Well written and easily understood by preschoolers
As someone who worked a lot with child SA survivors, I read this regularly to my three year old who started preschool last year, and recommend it to everyone. It covers everything from body boundaries (whether holding hands, hitting, or kissing) to waiting your turn, to telling parents if your body bubble isn’t respected.

An Essential Guide to Body Autonomy
I bought this book when I was a health teacher. It’s a wonderful resource to teach kids about their body autonomy and the power of their own "no" in a way that’s simple and empowering. The book does a brilliant job of breaking down concepts like consent and body bubbles. It encourages children to listen to their "safety sensations" and gives them the confidence to set boundaries with friends and family alike. It’s not just about their own space, though; it’s a fantastic tool for teaching kids how to recognise and respect the boundaries of those around them. With its inclusive illustrations and gentle tone, it’s a must have for any Australian classroom or home. It turns a potentially tricky subject into a series of positive life lessons, giving kids the right vocabulary to stay safe and feel in control.

Incredible and necessary!
I absolutely love this book. My daughter is only 21 months but it’s never too early to start introducing consent and respect! We read through it together, talk about the images and she’s now began repeating bits to me, for example I’ll point to the girl who doesn’t want a kiss and she will say “she’s sad” and when I ask why she replies “don’t want kiss, want hi five”. It shows me she is beginning to understand parts of the book, she has also started to tell us no if we ask for a hug or kiss and she’s not in the mood, which is great, as she’s learning her body is hers. As the book says “your body is yours, and you are the boss of it!”. I think this book is a great foundation and starting point for any parent. The illustrations are great too, although this probably is aimed at older children, it’s definitely engaging for toddlers thanks to the beautiful imagery!
