My Body! What I Say Goes!
By Jayneen Sanders
The Story
A body safety guide that teaches children to recognize unsafe feelings, use correct names for private parts, and say with a strong, clear voice: this is my body, what I say goes.
Why It's Special
For families ready to have direct, age-appropriate conversations about body autonomy before they're urgently needed.
- Big idea: A child's voice and boundaries matter, and saying no to unwanted touch is a right, not a rudeness.
- Vibes: Direct, reassuring, and empowering rather than frightening.
Perfect For Kids Who
- are working on understanding safe versus unsafe touch
- benefit from learning correct names for private parts
- are developing confidence to speak up about their bodies
- need help telling the difference between secrets and surprises
