Counselling at home – NO, this is MY body

Give children the words and confidence to understand their feelings, recognize boundaries and speak up when something doesn’t feel right.

NO, This Is MY Body! is a 39-page printable resource developed from the perspective of a registered counsellor, designed to introduce important conversations about emotions, body awareness, personal boundaries and body safety in an age-appropriate, child-friendly way.

Through colourful illustrations, discussions and practical activities, children learn that their body belongs to them, that they are allowed to say “NO”, and that they can identify trusted adults in their own safety network. The booklet also explores recognizing emotions and early warning signs in the body, private parts, uncomfortable secrets and the easy-to-remember 5 Finger Rules of Our Bodies.

Perfect for parents, teachers, counsellors and caregivers, this resource provides a gentle starting point for conversations that can sometimes be difficult to begin.
