Description

This social story is designed to help children learn about personal space, body safety, and safe ways to interact with others. Using gentle, child-friendly language, it explains what private parts are, why certain types of touch are not appropriate, and which kinds of touch are safe and acceptable.

What’s Included

• An 18-page social story

• A shortened, hands-on version with removable picture pieces children can place on each page for added engagement

• Ebook teaching slides suitable for small groups or whole-class lessons

Why Social Stories Are Effective

Social stories break down topics in a calm, reassuring way that makes them easier for children to understand. They are helpful for children who need extra support with routines, boundaries, or social understanding, and are especially beneficial for autistic children who may find social expectations unclear or overwhelming.

How to Use This Story

• Read the story together in a calm, quiet setting

• Begin by reading it a couple of times, then revisit it often

• Incorporate it into a regular routine

• If the story supports a specific behavior, read it around that time—not as a consequence

• Keep the tone positive and celebrate progress

• For long-term use, place the pages in a folder or laminate and bind them so they can be reused
