Download: A parent’s guide to consent and boundaries

How can parents introduce young children to the concept of consent? Katie Thistleton and Guvna B explore how everyday moments can help children understand personal boundaries and recognise those of others.

Charlie Hedges shares how she encourages her four-year-old daughter to express when she feels uncomfortable. Child and educational psychologist Dr Ahmar Ferguson offers advice on how to have age appropriate conversations with small children about personal space and why it's important to respect theirs and other people's boundaries.

You can watch Charlie’s documentary about parenting confidence and shyness on the CBeebies Parenting YouTube channel.
