 Safe Touch
Puppet Show: Pre-school through 3rd grade


|
 The
Safe Touch curriculum teaches young children to know and recognize
their body parts, identify feelings, and clarify the difference
between good touch, bad touch and uh-oh touches. Children learn to
identify the "uh-oh", or uncomfortable feeling, and what to do if
someone touches them in a way that makes feel uncomfortable. The
difference between good secrets and bad secrets is also discussed,
and children are taught that they need to tell an adult if keeping a
secret makes them uncomfortable or is unsafe. The curriculum also
encourages children to trust their instincts, and establishes that
children have the right to say no and the right to ask for help.
These skills help children develop a clear sense of their body
rights and a voice to speak out against people who may be violating
this right.

 Bullyproof:
3rd through 6th grade


|
 The
Bullyproof curriculum has been developed to address the pervasive
problem of bullying and teasing that occurs in the lives of many
elementary school children. The program enables students to
distinguish between joking, teasing, and bullying, and to identify
various options available to a child who is being bullied.
Bullyproof also helps children to recognize the responsibility of
bystanders to the bullying. This program can be held for one class
session, over several days in one week, once a month throughout the
year, or several times during the school year. Depending on time
available and age of the participants, the curriculum can also be
used as a context for discussing sexual harassment.

 Conflict
Resolution: Kindergarten through 12th grade

conflict that students experience. The conflict resolution
curriculum can either be used independently or in conjunction with
the Bullyproof program and over one of many sessions, depending on
time available, age appropriateness and needs of the
students.
