K-2

Here are some key points to consider:

Personal Safety and Boundaries

Explain the concept of personal space and that it's important for them to feel safe and comfortable.
Teach them that it's okay to say "no" if someone makes them feel uncomfortable or tries to touch them inappropriately.

Stranger Awareness

Help them understand that not all strangers are bad, but they should be cautious and not go anywhere with someone they don't know without asking a trusted adult first.
Use simple language to explain that some people might try to trick children, so it's important to stay close to their caregivers.

Trusted Adults

Identify trusted adults (parents, teachers, relatives) whom they can turn to if they feel scared or if someone approaches them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.
Emphasize the importance of telling a trusted adult if anything unusual or upsetting happens.

Emergency Situations

Teach them basic information like their full name, their parents’ names, their home address, and how to dial emergency numbers.
Practice what to do in various situations, such as if they get separated from their parents in a public place.

Internet Safety

If they use the internet, explain that they should not share personal information online and that they should only use the internet with the help of a trusted adult.

Instincts and Feelings

Encourage them to trust their feelings and instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, they should seek help immediately.
Reinforce that it's always okay to tell someone if they feel scared or uncomfortable, even if the person they're telling them about is someone they know.
