I love how simply the author explains hard to talk about situations in a way that kids can understand。 My 7 year old and I had a lot of discussions about the safety network and being uncomfortable that were bridged using this book。 Other topics: private parts and their correct names secret keeping "feelings" and being uncomfortable expectations for adults， including doctors different family dynamics I love how simply the author explains hard to talk about situations in a way that kids can understand。 My 7 year old and I had a lot of discussions about the safety network and being uncomfortable that were bridged using this book。 Other topics: private parts and their correct names secret keeping "feelings" and being uncomfortable expectations for adults， including doctors different family dynamics 。。。more

I purchased this for my 6 year old now 7 year old daughter。 I wanted to implement into our reading routine books about personal empowerment and that she is in control of her body and who touches it。 I highly recommend this book for boys or girls。 I wish I had it with my 3 older sons。

This book does a great job of explaining tough subjects like body autonomy， predatory grooming， etc。 It also has questions built-in and activities children can complete。

I did really like this book but of course I don't like the gendered language。 If I were to read this with a child i would omit girl/boy and replace with child or "some bodies" when they talk about "private parts。" I think I would also include that "private parts" or "no-touch parts" can be anywhere on your body that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you don't want anyone to touch。 I did really like this book but of course I don't like the gendered language。 If I were to read this with a child i would omit girl/boy and replace with child or "some bodies" when they talk about "private parts。" I think I would also include that "private parts" or "no-touch parts" can be anywhere on your body that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you don't want anyone to touch。 。。。more

A good book for the age group。。Starts with exploring the emotions and feeling and understanding the body signs of feeling uncomfortable and then on to safe ad usafe feeling。 Diffrence between surprise and secrets。whom to confide in 。etc。Good book for the 4 - 7 age group。It also gives us questions to think on and discuss as we finish each topic。Good pages and illustrations。Good explanations for the age group。

E o carte despre cum să le dăm copiilor putere și să-i învățăm despre siguranța corporală personală， atingeri permise și nepermise， zone intime， secrete， consimțământ și relații bazate pe respect。

My 3 year old is learning lots from this book about emotions， personal space， private parts， and body safety。 He likes the book enough that we read it over and over， and he is learning to say "This is my body！ What I say goes！"。 Of course when he says it， it is more like "Go body， go！" but you get the idea。 My 3 year old is learning lots from this book about emotions， personal space， private parts， and body safety。 He likes the book enough that we read it over and over， and he is learning to say "This is my body！ What I say goes！"。 Of course when he says it， it is more like "Go body， go！" but you get the idea。 。。。more

If you have kids， you need this book。 Parenting is tough and knowing we can't always be by our kids sides to make sure they are safe is scary。 This book can help us teach them and help them to learn consent and what touch is safe and what is not okay。 It's imperative to teach our children how to look after themselves when we aren't around and this book explains things in a way they can grasp。 If you have kids， you need this book。 Parenting is tough and knowing we can't always be by our kids sides to make sure they are safe is scary。 This book can help us teach them and help them to learn consent and what touch is safe and what is not okay。 It's imperative to teach our children how to look after themselves when we aren't around and this book explains things in a way they can grasp。 。。。more

Excellent。 When my daughter was four we had to read it in a couple sittings。 This time at five was a refresher in one sitting。 I like that the author includes the mouth as a private part， meaning "just for me，" so that kids might recognize an abuse before it happens （she doesn't say this outright）。 I also like teaching kids to pay attention to their bodies' signs of being uncomfortable。 So many other great things in this book and none inappropriate or too early for young kids。 Worth owning。 Excellent。 When my daughter was four we had to read it in a couple sittings。 This time at five was a refresher in one sitting。 I like that the author includes the mouth as a private part， meaning "just for me，" so that kids might recognize an abuse before it happens （she doesn't say this outright）。 I also like teaching kids to pay attention to their bodies' signs of being uncomfortable。 So many other great things in this book and none inappropriate or too early for young kids。 Worth owning。 。。。more

This book has been invaluable this year。 My son’s curiosity about who has what body parts naturally flowed into a conversation about consent and what should be kept private。 This book was so clear and concise and captured the stage he was at just right。 The teddy bear in this book and the fact that Izzy isn’t drawn overtly girly made for more interesting conversations about gender and private parts。 No， teddy bears don’t have a penis。 Toys don’t have penises。 Ok， the robots on Storybots might ha This book has been invaluable this year。 My son’s curiosity about who has what body parts naturally flowed into a conversation about consent and what should be kept private。 This book was so clear and concise and captured the stage he was at just right。 The teddy bear in this book and the fact that Izzy isn’t drawn overtly girly made for more interesting conversations about gender and private parts。 No， teddy bears don’t have a penis。 Toys don’t have penises。 Ok， the robots on Storybots might have male and female voices， but robots don’t have private parts。 Mr。 and Mrs。 Potatohead might have male and female voices in Toy Story， but they are still toys and still don’t have a penis or vagina。 No， regular potatoes and French fries made from potatoes don’t have penises。 。。。more

This is a great book to begin to teach young children about body safety。 I love that it includes secrets vs。 surprises， and emphasizes the importance of correct terminology for private parts。 There’s also a helpful section with discussion questions for parents。
