TikTok Mom Shares How Easy It Is To Teach Kids Consent And Everyone Is Loving Her Lessons

by Rachel

One of the most essential life skills for kids to learn is consent. But, consent isn't just about what you do to others, it is about learning to set boundaries for what others can do to you.

As important as it is to teach kids to share and not to touch people when they do not want to be touched, it is also important to teach them to set boundaries for what they allow other people to do to them. It may sound complicated, but it will make the world of difference for helping a kid to set healthy boundaries.

This mom posts her strategies on TikTok and they are simple, easy, and the kids seem so happy!
