Hey there! I’m Cath Hak, and welcome to Sex Ed Rescue. I’m all about reviewing books that make talking to kids about sensitive topics easier. Right now, I’m on the lookout for books that can help us discuss the importance of not touching other people’s private parts.
So, I recently came across this self-published book called Some Parts Are Not for Sharing by Julie K. Federico. I got it from the library, but don’t worry if yours has those little white lines in the middle – it’s just a printing thing, not a problem with the publisher. You know how it goes, sometimes they cut corners to save money.
Now, let’s dive into the book. It’s a cute story with adorable little fish characters. It starts by reminding us that everyone has a body, even fish! We share most parts of our bodies with others, like our hands when we give high fives or shake someone’s hand. But there are some parts that are private and not meant for sharing.
The book explains that private areas are the ones covered by swimsuits. It’s important to remember that these parts are called private for a reason – they’re not for sharing. If someone asks to touch or touches your private areas, the book encourages saying no and finding a trusted adult right away.
At the end, there’s some additional information and discussion questions to help you have meaningful conversations with your child. Books like this are great because they address the specific topic of not touching or looking at someone else’s private parts. It’s not always easy to find books that cover this important aspect.
So, if you’re looking for a resource to help you talk to your child about boundaries and respecting others’ privacy, this book could be a valuable addition to your collection. I’m really glad I found it and I hope it helps you too.
Remember, it’s crucial to have open and honest conversations with our kids about these topics. Let’s create a safe and respectful environment for them to learn and grow. Cheers!
