This document discusses safe and unsafe touches that children may experience. It defines safe touches as those that make a child feel warm, comfortable and safe, such as hugs from family. Unsafe touches are those that make a child feel uneasy or bothered, like pinching. The document encourages children to identify safe versus unsafe touches and touches from trusted individuals versus strangers. It emphasizes that private parts should not be touched by others and that children should tell a trusted adult if they experience any touches that make them uncomfortable.
