Impactful way to teach consent
Heya my son is almost 6 and we recently had 2 incidents at school (touched private part and looked under a bathroom stall) that were reported.
He’s always been a touchy/cuddly boy and we’ve always intervened when something inappropriate happened, and he’s been doing a lot better asking for hugs, respecting boundaries, etc.
While he’s doing better, we are still working on this at home and when we call out ‘ask before hugging’ or ‘you are in your sister’s bubble’ he acknowledges it but it doesn’t stick. He say ok and listen to us, is able to verbalize the issue/the solution but it doesn’t sticks.
he’s obviously doing it now at school when he thinks no one is looking, so we need to reinforce the concept of respecting others space, consent and all other related matters in a more impactful way. We’ve talked, we’ve read book, but I’d love to have suggestions around more impactful education.
Thanks!
