Sadly my oldest two had to learn way early however it has helped them heal and become better people. I have taught my younger two that is perfectly find to say Don't touch me. and things of that nature. I feel that it is important for them to start building their boundaries now to help keep them safer and have some control over their bodies and them selves. Right now they don't pronounce the body parts correctly But I am reinforcing the proper way to say them and help them get that right. Another great post thanks :) I totally agree. it is Never to early to start teaching this. Sadly my oldest two had to learn way early however it has helped them heal and become better people.

Great article, as always. I just love the phrase "Sex is what we do. Sexuality is who we are." It's so true. Every child is constantly learning about their sexuality simply by the way their interactions with other people and themselves. Conscious sexuality education is so important so that we can help to nurture and protect our little people. I loved 'Baby safety with strangers', too. I struggled with this when my twin girls were born. On a few occasions I was "Downright rude with Don't touch my child please!", until we worked out some alternatives. Now that they are older, they are more aware of their personal space. They responded really well to relationship "Circles", too. So much so, I now get in trouble for telling 'strangers' the name of our dog. "That's a personal question and they are not in your circle, mum!" Glad the Thailand trip was safe and successful - "poorer" depends on the interpretation, doesn't it? I'd much rather a rich 8 day shopping spree and a poor purse than a rich purse and light suitcase!

I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to freely share some skills and knowledge to help keep all kids safe. All I ask is that someone, somewhere, keeps a protective eye on my 4 kids. Big girl has just rung me from Melbourne airport - they are safely home from shopping in Thailand - but her husband got frisked for drugs at the airport!!! I am just glad they are back safely, albeit much poorer after 8 days of shopping!!!!! Hey Jeanie

By the way - I notice the $5.50 you normally charge for this - do you want a paypal contribution at all?
