The age to talk about consent with your kids is younger than you think
This year we are all talking about consent. Parents are worried that their teenagers are struggling with what it means. Do boys respect girls when they say ‘no’? Do girls understand their own right to say no?
Jayneen Sanders, a picture book author who has been teaching young children about consent for over ten years, believes it’s something our kids need to learn from a young age. Her book is called Let’s Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect. Here, Jayneen explains how parents can help their children be empowered, safe and confident.
