Today we talked about the different types of touch. We talked about Touch we like, like hugs and cuddles, back rubs and tickles. We talked about touch that hurts like hitting, kicking and biting. Then we talked about touch that is confusing. The children defined confusing touch as touching that makes us feel yucky. The children brainstormed some ideas of what they would find confusing. We then discussed what we could do if this happened to us. The children decided that the best thing to do was to say "Stop it! I don't like it!" We talked about the children needing to move away and find a safe adult to tell. A homework sheet has come home tonight.
We realise that his can be a bit of an awkward conversation with children, but it is a vital one to have.
Thanks for your ongoing support
