Help young children understand that it's okay to establish personal
boundaries and change their minds.
Physical and emotional awareness are key foundations of consent. We
Check In with Each Other gives children a vocabulary to understand that
they can change their minds at any time, develop and communicate
personal boundaries, and build their social and emotional skills.
The second book in the We Say What's Okay series, We Check In with Each
Other follows Harrison as he checks in with himself and with his
classmates throughout the day to see if they're still having fun and
feeling safe. Using the book as a read-aloud, educators and families can
model the language Harrison's teachers use to support children as they
learn to listen to their body signals and respect the personal
boundaries of others. The author, who hosts workshops and trainings on
teaching consent for families and early childhood educators around the
country, offers additional activities in the back of the book.
Digital content includes a song from Peaceful Schools with downloadable
audio files and sheet music.
We Say What's Okay Series
Teach the building blocks of consent in a child-friendly and
developmentally appropriate way.
Centered on a class of preschoolers, this series helps teach young
children the social and emotional skills they need to understand the
complexities of consent. Each book covers a consent theme, such as how
to recognize the physical sensations that emotions create, look for body
language cues, ask for and listen to choices, and know that our bodies
have value. With believable, everyday situations and diverse characters,
children can see themselves and others reflected in each story--and
develop a vocabulary to communicate consent and feelings. Every book in
the series is accompanied by a song from Peaceful Schools with
downloadable audio files and sheet music.
