eSafeKids Book Reading: Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect

eSafeKids Book Reading: Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect

Teaching young children about body boundaries, both theirs and others, is crucial to a child’s growing sense of self, their confidence and how they should expect to be treated by others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them and to their body. It is equally important a child understands, from a very young age, they need to respect another person’s body boundary and ask for their consent when entering their personal space. This book explores these concepts with children in a child-friendly and easily-understood manner, providing familiar scenarios for children to engage with and discuss. Also included are in-depth Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators to further enhance the learning and to initiate important conversations around body boundaries, consent and respect. For children aged 4 to 10 years.

eSafeKids Book Reading: No Difference Between Us

Jess and Ben are twins. Jess is a girl and Ben is a boy but in all the BIG ways, there is NO difference between them! A book to empower children and teach them from the earliest of years about gender equality, respectful relationships, feelings, choice, self-esteem, empathy, tolerance, and acceptance. Explore with the children in your care the important issues of gender equality and respectful relationships. Combining cheerful illustrations and a simple but effective narrative, this book will help children to understand that, fundamentally, there is no difference between us. This book encourages equality and respect for each other from the earliest of years. In order to reduce gender-based violence we need to teach gender equality and respectful relationships to young children. What better way than through a picture storybook? Children are visual learners and the match between illustration and text in this story will assist them to understand that we are all human -- everyone feels, and everyone has hopes and dreams. Our gender should be and needs to be irrelevant. Throughout the text, open-ended questions are provided on each spread so children have the opportunity to talk about their own experiences -- allowing the child to have a voice. There are more in-depth Discussion Questions on pages 30 and 31 encouraging the reader and the child to think about each scenario, and engage with the message. Suitable for children 3 to 9 years of age.

The Man Box - The Men's Project

The Man Box - The Men's Project

The Men’s Project asked 1,000 Australian men aged 18 to 30 about the pressures to be a ‘real man’. The pressure to be tough; to be the breadwinner, to always be in control, and to have many sexual partners. These rules make up ‘The Man Box’. And there are more people in there than you might think. • 47 percent believe they should act strong when scared or nervous. • A third believe men should be the primary provider for their families. • 37% believe they should know their partner’s whereabouts at all times Adhering to these rigid norms and stereotypes that make up the Man Box can be unhealthy and harmful. Young men ‘inside the Man Box’ are those who more strongly believe in the Man Box rules. Compared to young men who were ‘outside’ of the Man Box, these young men report poorer mental health and have a variety of behavioural issues that are harmful for them and others, particularly women. For example,  - 44% of those inside the Man Box reported suicidal thoughts… - 47% perpetrated physical violence in the past month, compared to 7% - 46% made sexual comments to a woman or girl they didn’t know, compared to 7%. - 31% get drunk once a month or more, compared to 22% - And finally, 38% have been in a car accident in the past year, compared to 11% of those outside of the Man Box. Improving the health and wellbeing of our boys and men requires action across our entire community… But it starts with each of us thinking about the expectations, attitudes and behaviours that we communicate to our sons, brothers, mates, and partners. Let’s all break free from The Man Box and give boys and men the freedom to be the person they want to be.
