The document discusses the importance of distinguishing between good touch (safe) and bad touch (unsafe) for children, encouraging them to express their feelings about different types of touch. It includes interactive activities, such as handshakes and storytelling, to help children understand and identify safe and unsafe touches. The emphasis is on teaching children to recognize their feelings and to seek help from trusted adults when they experience bad touch.

unhappy; whether it’s a good touch or a bad one.

a little longer (making it a little uncomfortable for the kid) and ask the
students to judge the facial expression and whether it’s a good
touch or a bad touch.

9. • Story Narration:
