Safe Touch Children often find it hard to tell adults about personal safety because they don’t know the words to use. Sensitizing children about good touch - bad touch, makes them emotionally strong and helps them to grow normally. It helps them handle “not so positive events” in life in a better way so that they do not im- pact their growth and personality. In today’s world, it is imperative that we talk to children about the differences between right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate. Safe touch workshops were conduct- ed in school by school counsellor to empower children on body safety. 1
