A Practical Resource for Supporting Children’s Right to Feel Safe

This practical resource provides educators and caregivers with structured activities designed to help children understand and articulate their feelings of safety. The program directly complements the narrative events in its companion storybook, offering a concrete framework for children to develop their own internal measure of security. Each session is thoughtfully constructed to guide discussions about personal boundaries and the importance of asking for help. This approach makes abstract concepts of emotional safety tangible and accessible for young learners.

What sets this guide apart is its focus on empowering children to recognize and trust their own instincts, a crucial skill for personal development and protection. It is an indispensable tool for school counselors, social workers, and teachers working to create emotionally secure environments. The activities provide a vital language for children who may struggle to express discomfort or fear, fostering resilience and self-advocacy. Ultimately, this resource makes a profound contribution to child safeguarding by giving adults the means to proactively support a child's fundamental right to feel safe.
