Supporting Young Children’s Body Safety (5 Hours)

Supporting Young Children’s Body Safety

This course invites early childhood educators to explore how everyday conversations about body safety can strengthen a child’s sense of security, autonomy, and belonging. Rather than focusing on fear or worst case scenarios, this training centers on developmentally appropriate language, warm relational practices, and the protective power of connection. Educators will learn how to introduce body safety concepts in ways that feel natural, nurturing, and woven into the rhythms of daily care.
