Growing up safe - My body belongs to me | A gentle guide to body safety and personal boundaries

Growing Up Safe: My Body Belongs to Me helps children aged five to nine understand body ownership, personal boundaries and the difference between safe and unsafe touch in a calm, age-appropriate manner. Through simple language and engaging illustrations, children learn to trust uncomfortable feelings, say no when necessary and approach a trusted adult for help. The book also reassures them that speaking honestly about an unsafe situation will never get them into trouble. Designed to be read with parents, teachers, caregivers or counsellors, it creates an opportunity for open and supportive conversations without fear or shame. It is a valuable choice for families searching for books for 5 year olds, stories for 8 year olds or good books for 9 and 10 year olds that support confidence and emotional awareness. Clear and empowering, the book gives children practical knowledge that can help them feel safer in everyday life.
