LEARNING ABOUT SAFE AND
UNSAFE TOUCHES

• SAFE TOUCHES ARE TOUCHES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY
AND GOOD INSIDE. SOME SAFE TOUCHES ARE:
• A HUG FROM SOMEONE YOU TRUST
• A PAT ON THE BACK
• HOLDING HANDS WITH A FRIEND

• UNDSAFE TOUCHES ARE
TOUCHES THAT MAKE
YOU FEEL LIKE
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
• UNSAFE TOUCHES CAN
MAKE YOU FEEL
CONFUSED , SAD ,
SCARED, OR ANGRY.

• HITTING IS ONE KIND
OF UNSAFE TOUCH,
BECAUSE HITTING
HURTS.
• THERE IS ANOTHER
KIND OF UNSAFE TOUCH
THAT DOESN’T HURT
THE SAME WAY
HITTING DOES, BUT IT
IS STILL WRONG

• WHEN SOMEONE
TOUCHES YOUR
PRIVATE PARTS,
OR TRIES TO GET
YOU TO TOUCH
THEIR PRIVATE
PARTS THAT IS
ALSO AN UNSAFE
TOUCH.

• EVERYONE HAS PRIVATE PARTS.
YOUR PRIVATE PARTS ARE THE PARTS
OF YOUR BODY THAT ARE COVERED
UP BY YOUR BATHING SUITE. NO
ONE SHOULD LOOK AT OR TOUCH
YOUR PRIVATE PARTS.

• SOMETIMES A
PARENT, DOCTOR OR
NURSE MAY NEED
TO LOOK AT OR
TOUCH YOUR
PRIVATE PARTS TO
HELP TAKE CARE OF
YOU. THESE ARE
SAFE TOUCHES.

• IF SOMEONE TRIES TOUCH YOUR
PRIVATE PARTS, OR MAKE YOU TOUCH
THEIRS, YOU SHOULD YELL NO IN A
BIG STRONG VOICE AND GET AWAY.

• SOMETIMES A PERSON
THAT GIVES AN
UNSAFE TOUCH TELLS
YOU TO KEEP IT A
SECRET. THAT PERSON
MY TRY TO SCARE YOU
OR GIVE YOU TREATS
SO YOU WON’T TELL.

• YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS TELL AN
ADULT THAT YOU
TRUST IF
SOMEONE GIVES
YOU AN UNSAFE
TOUCH. THEY
CAN PROTECT
YOU.

• AN ADULT YOU TRUST COULD BE YOUR
MOM AND DAD, GRANDPARENTS, OR
TEACHER.

• YOUR BODY IS
SPECIAL. IT
BELONGS TO YOU
AND NO ONE
ELSE. NO ONE
HAS THE RIGHT
TO GIVE YOU
UNSAFE
TOUCHES.
