Consent is not enough - teach your children 'Ongoing Enthusiastic Consent'. This means that everyone who is involved in the activity is doing so freely and willingly, and their experience is positive and enjoyable for the whole time.

Below is a poster (that you can get for free from Educate2Empower Publishing) that you can use to teach kids body safety rules and protective safety behaviour.
