I have strong opinions about the order of this book a lot of the time when people learn about consent they learn about the importance of saying no and how they have a right to know and that’s important and that’s great and also before you can answer yes or no there needs to be a question do you want to do this activity with me do you want to hold hands but what happens even before that question is a feeling inside someone that says I want to do this activity or I want to hold hands and this is why this book starts with how do you know what you want you’re teaching consent to kids before you get into everything about the importance of no and how to say no start with talking about wants and how people know what they want and what do they do when they notice they have a want and how they can go about asking and then deal with how they go about answering I wrote this book I’m super proud of it and bring it into your classroom together we can change the way that kids who will eventually be adults understand consent
