Synopsis

This book aims to teach children with disability about body safety and consent and provide them with essential skills to recognize unsafe situations. Using age-appropriate language and illustrations, this book addresses the needs and challenges often faced by children with disability, helping them to understand their rights in regard to their body and personal space. This book serves two purposes. The first is to educate your child in body safety and consent and what they can expect from the people who interact with them;

and secondly to educate family, caregivers, teachers and healthcare professionals in the concepts of body safety and the language of consent, and how they need to respect your child's rights especially in regard to their body. This book may be read over a number of sittings, depending on your child's needs. Please take the time to discuss each rule, the illustrations and engage your child in the questions provided. These important conversations are ongoing and should continue in daily interactions with your child and your child's caregivers. There are in-depth Discussion Questions on pages 36-38 to further draw out the learning. Each child's disability is unique. Please adapt the text to the needs and abilities of your child; for example, children who are non-verbal will need to show other ways such as using body language or communication devices to indicate their needs.

Written specifically for children with disability; they will learn 7 key Body Safety Rules. Topics covered include:

• body boundaries and consent
• respect and 'checking in'
• greetings are a child's choice
• private and public spaces
• private parts are private
• recognizing Early Warning Signs
• developing a Safety Network
• what to do when feeling unsafe
• the difference between secrets and surprises.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jayneen (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced early years educator, author and publisher. She started her teaching career in the 1980s as a primary school teacher in rural Australia. She then moved to Melbourne and taught at a number of inner-city schools. In 1985, Jay had a change of career and became an educational editor and publisher. In the early 90s, Jay and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers. They lived and worked in Japan for over three and a half years. In fact, Jay's first daughter was born there. On returning to Australia, Jay began work as an educational author/packager. Since that time, she has authored and produced numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. Jay is also an accomplished children's book author, writing a number of titles for such literacy series as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a children's picture book series for Penguin. She is currently working with an educational publisher as lead author of a literacy series. Jay has written over 100 titles in that series. Jay is a mother of three daughters and was a school councillor at her local school for over seven years. This time spent in schools both as a teacher and a parent inspired her to ask the question of her community: 'What are we doing in schools to protect our children from unsafe touch?' When she realised very little was actually being done, she decided to use her authoring and publishing skills to write Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept to help parents, carers and teachers to broach the subject of self-protection and to encourage children to speak up. After the encouraging response to Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept, she realised there was a need to further build upon the idea of children not keeping secrets about unsafe touch. Jay participated in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on the topic to educate herself in how to keep children safe and provide them with prevention education. Jay then went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teacher's Resource Kit as well as writing several more children's books on the topics of Body Safety, consent, respect, body boundaries and gender equality. Jay's ongoing passion for the safety and empowerment of children continues today with new manuscripts and free-to-download Body Safety resources always in the wings.
