Harold’s Body
Boundaries
For children 3 - 5 years old
Our Life Ed. Educators facilitate an interactive session that includes storytelling, music and songs, energetic active games and hands on learning experiences.
Overview
Harold’s Body Boundaries is one of Life Ed’s new play-based modules designed to empower preschool children with an understanding of body autonomy and consent. In this session, children learn that every person has a right to personal space, and that it’s okay to say “yes” or “no” to touch. They learn the proper anatomical names for private body parts and identify safe adults they can go to for help.
With interactive games and gentle storytelling, this session builds confidence, protective behaviours and personal safety awareness in a respectful and age-appropriate way.
