Reflection and Comments
It’s important to start conversations about bodies, consent and boundaries at an early age, no matter how awkward we feel as an adult. The tricky thing about topics like this is that they are not always talked about but are essential.
This book will help you to raise kids who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to protect themselves while also knowing how to respect others’ boundaries, too.
