Do not require personal disclosure, unwanted touch, or affection as proof of politeness. Repeated targeting, coercion, exclusion, or other safety concerns need responsible adult action; they are not problems the targeted child must solve alone. Necessary health, hygiene, or immediate-safety care should be explained, limited to what is necessary, and handled with as much choice and dignity as possible.

Digital download only. Please read the educational-use, safety, accessibility, and license notice in the included Start Here guide.
