Body-safety talk (private parts, no secrets)

Most children: 3y–4y

What it is

Correct names for body parts, 'your body belongs to you', no secrets from parents, who to tell. Repeat yearly.

Always on

1. Picture books on the topic; practise 'no, I don't want to' with tickling — and respect it.
2. Name 3 trusted adults together.
