The Story of Poo: Science-based social story to tackle unhygeinic sensory behaviours

Does your child or student struggle with unsanitary sensory-seeking behaviors? Join a curious young scientist on a journey of biology, hygiene, and safe sensory discovery! This story explains exactly what poo is (the body's natural waste) and why it has a specific destination. When he learns how microscopic bacteria try to "hitchhike" from poo onto hands and eyes, causing infections like pink eye, he discovers how to keep his body safe, use the toilet safely, and pivot his need for touch to safe sensory ideas instead!

Key Learning Objectives:

• Science-Based Understanding: Demystifies poo as the body's natural trash machine, removing shame while setting clear physical boundaries.
• Hygiene & Health Awareness: Uses a factual cause-and-effect approach to explain how bacteria cause pink eye, motivating children to keep their hands clean.
• Sensory Redirection: Validates the urge to touch, squish, and smear by encouraging parents and educators to replace the behavior with safe tactile alternatives like clay, magnets, and slime.
