My Body Belongs to Me

Two-Book Bundle for Caregivers and Young Children

This two-book bundle gives parents and caregivers tools to begin conversations with their young children about body safety, personal boundaries, respect and consent.

“My Body Belongs to Me”: A Parent’s Guide outlines guidelines for talking with your child, including example scripts for conversation and guidance for addressing difficult topics. “My Body Belongs to Me,” a selected children’s book as a companion to the parent’s guide, uses rhyme and illustration to convey the message that children have the right to be safe from unwanted touch. These two books were selected by community partners at Bay Area Hospital’s Kids’ HOPE Center in Coos Bay.

I couldn’t wait for this book to arrive so I checked it out at the local library. So excited to add it to my lending library now. The scripts and songs were great to help with navigating the delicate subject nature. Great for kids 3+
