Description
Help young learners understand body safety and personal boundaries with this structured social story designed for preschool, PreK, special education, and students with autism. This resource teaches children the difference between safe touch and unsafe touch using clear first-person language and short, simple sentences that are easy to understand. Students learn that their body belongs to them, which parts are private, and what to do if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. The story includes audio narration to support listening comprehension, independence, and engagement for emerging readers and learners with special needs. After the story, children practice with real-life scenarios where they choose between two options (a safe choice and an unsafe choice). These interactive situations help reinforce understanding and teach children exactly how to respond in different situations using clear safety steps. Students will learn how to: Recognize safe vs. unsafe touch Understand private parts Say “No” with confidence Move away from unsafe situations Tell a trusted adult Keep telling until they get help This resource supports social-emotional learning (SEL), personal safety instruction, behavior intervention, and structured teaching in classroom, therapy, and home settings.
