This study guide and activity book is a companion to No Way, No How, I Say No! by Dr. Qiana A. Johnson, providing engaging activities, discussion questions, and interactive exercises designed to help children understand body safety, personal boundaries, and the power of saying "no" with confidence.
Through reflection prompts, role-playing scenarios, coloring pages, and hands-on activities, children will reinforce the key messages of the original book: their bodies belong to them, they have the right to set boundaries, and they should always speak up if they feel uncomfortable. This guide also includes conversation starters and guidance for parents, educators, and caregivers to support meaningful discussions about body safety in a safe and empowering way.
Empower young readers to recognize, resist, and report inappropriate behavior-because every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and heard.
