Ms. Rosie, with her curly hair and warm smile, claps her hands to get everyone’s attention. "Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn something very important about our bodies and feelings," The children stop talking and look up, curiosity shining in their eyes.

Sammy, a thoughtful boy with glasses, raises his hand. "Ms. Rosie, what’s a safe circle?" Ms. Rosie kneels down to their level. "A safe circle is made up of people you trust—like your parents, teachers, and close family—who help keep you safe and happy,"

"Now, let’s talk about good touches. A good touch is something that makes you feel loved or happy, like a hug from your mom, a high-five from a friend, or a pat on the back when you do something great," Maya, a girl with pigtails, giggles and hugs herself. "I love when Grandma hugs me!"

"But sometimes, a touch can make us feel uncomfortable, scared, or yucky. That’s called a bad touch. No one should touch you in a way that makes you feel bad, especially in private areas that your swimsuit covers," Sammy frowns, looking thoughtful. "What should we do if someone gives us a bad touch?"

"If someone gives you a bad touch, it’s never your fault. You should say NO, get away if you can, and tell a grown-up you trust right away," Maya nods, her eyes wide. "Even if it's someone we know?" "Yes, even then. Your feelings matter most,"

"Remember, your body belongs to you. You have the right to feel safe and happy," Each child beams, proudly wearing their star as a symbol of courage and understanding.

"Thank you for listening and learning today. Always remember: good touches make you feel happy, and if you ever feel bad about a touch, you can always tell someone you trust," The children wave, promising to remember the lesson and take care of themselves and each other.
