What children practise in this set
The worksheets introduce body safety in clear, child-friendly language. Children sort safe, unsafe and confusing situations, identify trusted adults, practise saying no, and learn that private body parts should be treated with care. Younger children can work with pictures, matching tasks and simple colouring. Older children can read short situations, choose a safe action and write or draw who they could tell. The activities also explain that a caring touch can still feel uncomfortable, and that children should keep telling a trusted adult until someone listens.
Using the worksheets at home or school
Read each situation slowly and let your child explain what they notice before you discuss the answer. At home, make a small trusted-adult circle with names such as a parent, grandparent, teacher or school counsellor. In class, use pretend situations without asking children to share personal experiences. Children can practise clear words such as "Stop", "I do not like that" and "I will tell". Link this set with Safety Rules Worksheets for a wider safety lesson. Keep the tone calm and leave time for questions.
Helping children understand safety clearly
Children may think an unsafe touch is always painful, comes from a stranger, or is their fault. Explain that unsafe touch can come from someone known to them, can be confusing, and is never the child's fault. Some touches are needed for health, hygiene or help, but adults should explain them and respect the child's discomfort. Teach children that no one should ask them to keep a body secret, and that they can move away and tell a safe adult. Avoid asking why they did not speak sooner. Listen, believe them and get appropriate help if they share a concern.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, use picture cards and let them point to a trusted adult instead of writing a sentence.
- For an older child, add short scenarios about pressure, secrets and online requests, then ask for two safe choices.
- Practise a calm safety script during everyday moments, such as getting separated in a busy market or feeling uncomfortable during a family visit.

Questions parents ask
What is good touch and bad touch for children?
The terms help children talk about body safety. Explain that safe touch is welcome and appropriate, while unsafe touch is unwanted, confusing or involves private body parts, and that a child can say no and tell a trusted adult.
Should children be taught that all touch from family is safe?
No. Children should know that a familiar person can still cross a boundary. They can refuse a hug, move away and tell a trusted adult, while adults explain that some care, health or hygiene touches may be necessary and should be handled respectfully.
What should a child do if someone asks them to keep a touch secret?
Tell the child not to keep body secrets. They should move away if they can, say no, and tell a trusted adult. If the first adult does not listen, they should keep telling safe adults until someone helps.
How can parents teach good touch bad touch without frightening children?
Use simple words, calm examples and regular short conversations. Focus on body boundaries, trusted adults and getting help rather than making children afraid of people they know.
