Talking to Children about Consent

This virtual session will discuss and answer questions about the importance of talking to young children (age 0-6) about consent, setting boundaries, and using the proper names for body parts to help build safe, caring and respectful communities.

Although the session specifically focusses on young children, many of the ideas and suggestions are transferable to older children. Resources and slides Provided.

Learning Objectives:

1. Increase understanding of why it is important to correctly name body parts and teach consent
2. Increase knowledge and skills in talking about and modelling consensual behaviour
3. Increase motivation to learn more about this topic and how it can build consent culture in our communities, including our campus community
