You Can Keep It Casual

"Conversations about safe touch and consent should be interwoven in casual conversations," Atkins says. "Bath time, potty-training, diaper changes — these are all good opportunities to educate our sons about their bodies and privacy. Remind your son that his body belongs to him, and no one else is allowed to touch it. In the same way, other people's bodies belong only to them, and we arenʼt to touch them until we are given permission, and weʼre old enough to do so."
