Story by Khattiyada Chaiyo, Ed.D. Translated by Nongnuch Maneein Illustrated by Chananya Kijcharoenchai
Auntie and Unkie take me to the zoo. Their pats on my head show their love too.
Such kind and friendly gesture makes me feel even happier.
Auntie and Unkie come to visit me. They gently touch me on my cheeks. Such gesture makes me feel happy because I have missed them for weeks.
Brother and Sister are always at my side when bad things happen to me. Their pats on my back and shoulders make me feel even stronger.
Bath time is my fun time. Mummy and Daddy wash my legs and arms.
“Tickle! Tickle! Tickle!” they say out loud.
Laughter is found and happiness is all around.
For someone we have just met, keeping our distance is our best bet.
BUT if someone touches your private parts or makes you feel being harassed, STOP them from doing so.
No one can touch you if you say “NO!”
Do not let anyone make you feel sorry as they have no right to touch your body.
Your body is your very own.
Do not let anyone, either known or unknown, touch your body parts you are not comfortable with. Tell them head on, “Stop this!”
Tender and warm hugs from their mother are the first friendly touch that makes children feel loved. A loving, safe and appropriate touch allows children to differentiate between a friendly touch and an uncomfortable touch from people around them.
In good and bad times, a friendly touch keeps children closer to their
loved ones.
It also helps them explore their feelings and willingness.
