(Note: You may want to invite a nurse, counselor or social worker to lead the suggested activities in this guide with the children.) Teach children that the private parts of the body are those areas covered by a bathing suit. Make a poster of a boy and a girl dressed in bathing suits. Include both front and back views. Point to specific body parts and ask the children if each one is private or not. Explain that no one should look at or touch the private areas on a child’s body, except for certain health reasons and for personal hygiene (see the note on page 4 of the workbook). Make sure the children understand that looks are as wrong as touches. Also explain that no adult should have a child look at or touch that adult’s private parts. Supports Speaking & Listening Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1a,b CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.3 Page 4—Some private touches are OK. Explain that there are a few circumstances when adults may need to touch or look at children’s private parts briefly for health reasons or personal hygiene. These are safe touches. Show the children pictures of examples, such as a health-care provider examining a child or a parent changing a baby’s diaper. Have them describe what is happening in each picture. (Tell them that one way to decide if a touch or look is unsafe is if the adult tells the child to keep it a secret.)
