I want to teach my 7-year-old sister the difference between good touch and bad touch. She is very introverted, and I do not know how much she has understood post the session at school. She is very close to me, so my mother has suggested that I speak to her, but I am uncertain how to do so. Is there any sequence that I must follow? How should I address this with her?

I appreciate you taking up this step, though I would suggest this is best addressed by your mother. However, since you have mentioned that she is the closest to you, I will guide you with a few brief steps. Firstly, it is very important for you to understand how much she actually knows, post that you can build upon what she needs to know. Find a quiet, comfortable place where she feels safe and relaxed. You can have child-friendly books or visual aids ready to help explain the concepts. Avoid using complex words; this would only confuse her. Explain first what good touches are, using examples like a hug from you or holding hands with a friend. Follow with what bad touches are, using clear and simple language. Emphasize that bad touches are those that make her feel uncomfortable or scared. Give her time to process the information and express her thoughts. Tell her to seek help if she ever feels scared or is encountered by a situation where she feels threatened. By following this sequence and approach, you can help your sister understand the concepts of good touch and bad touch in a way that is gentle, supportive, and empowering.
