Description

KIAH'S EDITION is the Indigenous version of the best selling title 'My Body! What I Say Goes!'. This book will help children to protect their bodies from inappropriate touch through age-appropriate body safety skills. Illustrated by awarding-winning Indigenous artist Jasmine Seymour and piloted with First Nations students, children will be empowered to say in a strong and clear voice, "This is my body! What I say goes!" Through culturally-appropriate illustrations and engaging text, this book (written by the author of 'Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent & Respect', 'No Means No!' and 'Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept’) will teach children the following crucial and empowering skills in personal body safety: • identifying safe and unsafe feelings • recognizing early warning signs • developing a safety network • using the correct names for private parts • understanding the difference safe and unsafe touch • understanding the difference between secrets and surprises • respecting body boundaries. Approximately 20% of girls, and 8% of boys will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday (Pereda, et al, 2009). Parents, caregivers, and educators have a duty of care to protect children by teaching them body safety skills. These skills empower children, and go a long way in keeping them safe from abuse - ensuring they grow up as assertive and confident teenagers and adults. Also included in this book are in-depth Discussion Questions to further enhance the learning and to initiate important family conversations around body autonomy.
