Synopsis
Designed to help adults talk with toddlers and preschoolers about sexual abuse in a way that reduces embarrassment and fear and emphasizes self-reliance and open communication, It’s MY Body does not contain specific references and stories about sexual abuse, a nod to the tender age of its target audience. It does, however, emphasize how children’s feelings can help them make decisions about sharing their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others. The book introduces two “touching codes,” which children can use to protect themselves when they are uncomfortable.

CHAPTER 1
I have something very special that belongs to only me.
I was born with it ...
And it changes as I grow older.
But it is always just mine! It's my body.
Sometimes I like to share my body ...
When I hug my father, I am sharing my body.
When I sit on my grandma's lap, I am sharing my body.
When I hold a little baby's hand, I am sharing my body.
When I let someone tickle me, I am sharing my body.
