Workshop on Good Touch and Bad Touch

An awareness program on ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’ was conducted at DAV Public School, Sector 49, Gurugram for the learners of classes LKG, UKG, I and II. As part of this session, children learnt about earmarking their safe circle, communicating with their parents, teachers and friends, understanding the concept of strangers, learning to say no and differentiating between Good Touch and Bad Touch. Also the ‘No Run Go Tell’ was introduced to them- say ‘No’ when being touched or held uncomfortable, ‘Go’ to people in their Safe Circle(Parents, Teachers, Counselors) people who could help and protect them and ‘Tell’ experiences if they had witnessed any without keeping any secrets. Children were explained to respect their bodies. It was a great initiative and a step further to spread awareness about ‘Good and Bad Touch’ one of the sensitive issues in today’s time for children to understand the prevailing truth and essential guidelines to deal with the same, thus making themselves future ready.
