Discuss appropriate and inappropriate ways of showing affection. Discuss the right each child has to control his or her own body. Ask the children to give examples of healthy or appropriate ways of showing affection. Discuss the difference between safe and unsafe touches, and reinforce that the children themselves have the right to decide whether they want physical affection from family members or relatives.
