Reflection and Comments
To make each of these concepts easy to understand, the author uses age-appropriate language and shares specific scenarios that help them relate to the topic easily. Some examples would be asking for permission before holding someone’s hand or hugging them, even if it were a sibling.
The book also comes with a discussion guide that can help parents and carers create opportunities for meaningful conversations with their child. There are guide questions, for example, on how they can understand respect and how they felt when they were asked to wait their turn. This can help parents establish open, ongoing and honest conversations so that they can be normalised which is very important.
