Consent: Deal with It Before Boundaries Get Crossed

Description

Consent isn’t just about sex. From an early age, kids are taught to respect personal space. They learn to express themselves and how they feel. While they must be taught that kissing, hugging, and touching are sometimes appropriate and sometimes not, it’s also important that they consider that consent is needed for interactions like borrowing things, sharing possessions, or sharing someone’s secrets. And that consent cannot be assumed, even if it has been given at a different time.

This illustrated book offers information, quizzes, comics, and real-life situations to help kids think critically about what consent is, and what it looks like and sounds like when it is given or not given.
