A LITTLE NOTE FOR
Teachers, Parents & Carers
Young children learn best when important messages are repeated gently, naturally and often. You do not need to have long conversations about body safety. Small everyday moments can make a big difference.
💬 Keep talking
Ask simple questions such as: “How are you feeling today?”, “Who would you tell if you need help?” and “What could you do if something didn’t feel right?”
👂 Listen
Let children know that they can always talk to you. Listen calmly, give them time and let them explain things in their own words.
✋ Respect their choices
Whenever possible, give children simple choices about their own bodies—for example, whether they would like a hug, a kiss or a tickle. This helps children learn that they can say yes or no, and that their feelings and choices matter.
♫ Keep the songs going!
Sing the Little Learners songs together. Music and repetition help children remember important safety messages in a positive and enjoyable way.
