Talking About Touch

12 Week - Personal Safety Lessons for Preschoolers
Tues. Sept.16 -Dec.2 3:30 to 4:30 at the FN


Any child could be in a situation where someone or something makes them feel bad, sad or scared, from day to day situations to the more extreme concern of sexual abuse. This general safety curriculum will give your child the words, skills, practice and confidence to stay safe in any and all situations, at any time and place. They will learn proven "tools", on a week-to-week basis, to use in place of being scared, confused, or threatened. After a 15-20 min. interactive session with the facilitator, everyone will come back together to reinforce the information with fun activities. Younger siblings will be able to stay in the playroom with parents.

Children must be at least 3 yrs. at the start of this class.
Mandatory parent meeting will be held on Thurs. Sept 11th 6:30 to 8:00.
