Someone Touched My Things
Someone picked up my belongings without asking.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes someone touches my things without asking. Maybe they grab my toy or move my backpack.
2. My body might react fast. Hot face. Tight hands. A big NO feeling inside.
A flash of heat, grabby hands, a loud NO in my chest.
3. That feeling makes sense. My things are mine. Wanting them respected is fair.
4. I can keep my body safe while I handle it.
take a slow breath first squeeze my hands together step back for a moment ask an adult for help
5. I can use strong, kind words.
6. If words do not work, I get help. Telling an adult is not tattling when something of mine is taken. It is solving a problem.
7. My things come back to me, or an adult helps make it fair. The hot feeling cools. My stuff and I are okay.
