YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR BODY

This age-appropriate curriculum protects young children from abuse by helping them understand what sexual abuse is and what to do about it. In three scenarios (animated to minimize viewer discomfort), a man puts sunscreen on Hanna, even under her bathing suit, even though she says no; Alex’s mom’s boyfriend wants Alex (a boy) to shower with him; and an older girl asks Isobel to pose shirtless for a photograph. Viewers learn about body boundaries, the "no" and "go" strategy, and to tell a trusted adult. Two versions of the program (31 minutes each) either name male and female anatomy or refer only to "private parts." A pdf teacher’s guide can be printed from the disc. "Highly recommended," says Video Librarian. Grades 3–5. Closed captioned. Color. Human Relations Media. ©2014.
