One of the most important and sometimes the most difficult conversations parents and carers can have with young children is about their bodies. Early conversations using the correct terms for body parts is a valuable step toward supporting a child’s health and safety. Using nicknames for body parts can lead to confusion, and make it difficult for a child to be clearly understood. If they need to talk to someone outside your family, perhaps an incident at school or day care, it’s important for them to know the correct names of their private body parts and feel confident in speaking out. Teaching children the correct language can help them communicate clearly about their bodies.
Everyone's got a bottom was developed with this in mind. It’s the perfect introductory tool for parents and carers to gently start conversations with children. It uses correct anatomical terms and gives children the words and knowledge to help keep them safe. Examples are given in a fun, positive way, about saying ‘no’, talking to a trusted adult and privacy.
The Adults Guide at the back of the book is helpful in keeping these personal safety conversations going. The book has been applauded and recommended by industry experts around the world.
