Join Wild & Wonder for a workshop in Body Safety education for your child. The plan of action for how to protect your child from sexual abuse lies in prevention, education, and support. The topics of body safety, consent, and boundaries can feel extremely overwhelming to navigate as caregivers and Wild + Wonder wants to partner with you. This 45 -60 minute workshop will engage you and your child in a developmentally appropriate book reading, followed by a Body Safety lesson facilitated by Gretchen Evenhouse, LLMSW.
You and your child will gain knowledge and be empowered to:
Identify body safety rules for home, school, and time spent in the community.
Distinguish between safe and unsafe touches.
Explain that everyone has the right to tell others not to touch his or her body (consent)
Brainstorm and establish a ‘Safety Network’ of trusted adults at home and outside of the home to gain support if a safety concern arises.
