Welcome to part 2 of a comprehensive five-class series focusing on safety with strangers and tricky people. It is highly recommended that your learners take these classes in sequential order, as each class builds upon the knowledge gained in the previous ones.  

To accommodate different preferences, I have structured the content in two formats. The first format is "camp-style" or multi-day, with scheduled sections available. You can find the class schedule and sign up here: https://outschool.com/classes/super-safety-camp-strangers-and-tricky-people-and-being-the-boss-of-my-body-bu9zPfb7?usid=VbdChdTp&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

Additionally, I have created a FLEX-style course that is self-paced, featuring prerecorded lessons. There are no live classes for this format. You can access the FLEX course here: https://outschool.com/classes/safety-strangers-and-tricky-people-io1xxgIh?usid=VbdChdTp&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

I designed the one-time classes to offer flexibility in learners' schedules and allow you to pace the content as you see fit.

In this five-class series, learners will explore information and scenarios to enhance their awareness and understanding of safety with strangers and tricky people.

Class 2: Body Autonomy - "I'm the boss of my body!"

Key Focuses for this class:

-Listening to our bodies and recognizing the "uh-oh" feeling as an important signal.
-Understanding the concept of "I am the boss of my body" in relation to our personal space preferences.
-Emphasizing the importance of all individuals, including adults, respecting our bodies.
-Cultivating assertiveness skills, and encouraging learners to speak up for themselves.

After the class, students will engage in an extension activity involving personal space preferences, with the support of a trusted adult.

**Please note that while we will discuss body boundaries and touches, the following will be mentioned: hugs, kisses, sitting on laps, and tickles. We will not delve into discussions about private parts or the touching of private parts. However, this topic can serve as an opportunity to discuss these sensitive matters with your learner in a manner that you feel most comfortable. Here is an excellent guide I found that can offer additional support in having these conversations: https://www.heysigmund.com/body-safety-empowering-kids-stay-safe-safe-jayneen-sanders/
