No Means No
(Author) Jayneen Sanders Sanders JayneenMeet an empowered little girl who knows all about body boundaries, consent and respect, and her right to say 'No!' when it comes to her personal space. 'No Means No!' endeavours to teach young children that they have a body boundary and people, young and old, need to respect this boundary and ask for consent before entering it. Using engaging illustrations that focus on familiar scenarios such as greetings, tickling games and bath time, children will come to understand that they have a voice and every right to speak up when they feel unhappy, unsafe or uncomfortable. A strong, confident voice as a young child converts to a strong, confident pre-teen, teenager and adult. 'No Means No!' can be used as a springboard for ongoing discussions around body autonomy and consent. Also included is a comprehensive Note to Reader and in-depth Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators to further enhance the learning, and to initiate important conversations around body boundaries, consent and respect.
