“I SAID NO!” Helping your child to become “boss of their body” could be one of the most important gifts you ever give them. Understanding CONSENT makes them less vulnerable and more confident about body choices (even if they still want to wear their Cookie Monster costume to the shops). When your child understands the principles of consent, they become safer... on the school bus, in the classroom, then later, in the workplace, and with their partners. Consent is NOT just about sex. It’s about respect, acceptance and boundaries, and no child is too young to start learning. Who needs it? The (usually unspoken) rules of consent are important from the first moment that your child makes social connections. They want to hold hands with friends, they’re curious about body parts, or what the baby in someone’s tummy feels like. Consent is always relevant. Act now – this crash course is important for carers of children of any age. And it's one of the most important sex ed topics to teach your kids. What’s in it? Course leader Cath Hak has more than 20 years of experience as a sexual health nurse. In the Consent Crash Course, she’s distilled her knowledge, including lots of new research, to serve up clear and actionable training. Cath says, “I’ve read tonnes of resources in preparation for this course... the material is overwhelming. I’m taking it back to basics!” Join Cath as she cuts through the white noise to explore: Why do you need to be talking about consent? Who needs to know about consent? When your buttons are pushed, how do you push on through? What do kids need to know about consent? How can you start teaching consent to kids? … plus practical advice about parenting under the principles of consent, and lots of extra resources to draw on. Introducing the idea of Consent starts with helping your child to wash or dress – the respect you show them will ripple outwards as your little human starts to interact with others. We’re paying it forward. Are you in? You can find even more resources to help with teaching kids about body parts, body safety and boundaries in the Sex Ed Shop! This is a digital product. Nothing physical will ship.
