YES on the kissing relatives thing - it can be a tricky one huh! Want to strike that balance between giving them rights for their own body (and not wanting to force physical contact they dont feel comfortable with) whilst also not wanting them to be rude or hurtful about it - I also suggested a high five, it seems a good back up :)kate @ livinglovinglaughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338684473367972293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-12455641076860858182012-08-16T19:48:20.390+10:002012-08-16T19:48:20.390+10:00oh thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope the k...oh thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope the kids enjoy the book too amber - lily is requesting it every night since we bought it!<br />thanks for that top about 5 Safe People - that is an excellent idea! I did try this initially w lily but she said she only wanted to talk to Mummy and Daddy!! Maybe an age thing, will keep trying to work on that as she gets older - heartbreaking but scarily true that even when kids DO get the guts to speak up, they can be ignored or not believed :(kate @ livinglovinglaughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338684473367972293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-1739656600161534982012-08-16T00:36:25.659+10:002012-08-16T00:36:25.659+10:00Kate - Thanks for posting the link.

We have even started to use the mantra when overzealous relatives (well-meaning and perfectly innocent) want to lift up our big six year old to give him a cuddle. Eg. we encourage him to say he prefers a high five rather than sloppy kisses and cuddles.

I am completely with you on this one, I dread the thought of it but equally I dread what could happen if I failed to give my children the information and skills to deal with this horrible issue. I will be ordering the book as it is always good to have a starting point. <br />A really good strategy that I used to teach (coming from the teaching program 'Protective Behaviours') was to help the students identify 5 trust worthy people in their lives. Some must come from within their family and some outside. These people become their "go to people" when they experience an unsafe situation. The students are taught that they start with the first person on their list and go through each member on their list until someone listens. Sadly, it is know that children's uneasy feelings aren't always listened to so this method encourages them to persist until someone listens and ACTS.
