How I feelBy Alka Meena

Hi my name is golu. Everyone loves me.

My family loves me. They hug me and kiss me often. I feel happy when my mommy gives me a hug and a kiss after I wake up.

I feel nice when my papa gives me a good night kiss

I feel excited when grandma and grandpa come to visit and they hug and kiss me.

I also hug my friends and family when I am happy

When do you feel good, nice and happy ???

When I go to the park with my mother, some people come and pull my cheeks. And some touch my back.I feel bad and unsafe. I don’t like it when they touch me.

Do you also feel the same??? When????

I will feel threatened and scared when someone slaps me, kicks me, pinches me, or hurts me,

I don’t like when a stranger hugs and kisses me.

My mother says that nobody should touch me if I don't want to be touched.She also tells me that if a person touches me in a way that I don’t like then it is a bad touch.

It is a bad touch if a person forces me to touch him or her.

It is a bad touch if a person asks me not to tell anyone.

What should we do about the “bad touch”

My mother told me to do certain things if I get a bad touch:-•Say no! Tell the person that you don't like it and you don't want to be touched.

•Get away fast! Run away from the person whose touch you don't like.

•Call for help. You can scream!

•Never stay alone with that person ever again.

• always tell someone you trust

How many of us like hugs, kisses, and touches from people we know,

love, and trust?

How about those same kinds of touches from people we do not

know, do not like, or do not trust?

When we get touches, we get feelings inside. Good touches give us

good feelings.

Sometimes touches can give us bad feelings inside. Sad Frightened
