It was very interesting.
Erin (another CS volunteer) and I went over them and started the presentation.
First, we went over what a good touch is; a touch that makes you feel good or not uncomfortable. Like a hug or shaking hands. I asked the kids if they could give me an example of a good touch. One little girl raises her hand and says "if you touch your glasses, thats a good touch". She was were sunglasses at the time. Another little boy said "a good touch is to touch your hair"... I said that i suppose that's okay but we were really look for when you touch another person. Another girl raised her hand and said "a good touch is when you pet your cat"
When we finally moved on to a bad touch I described it as something that makes you feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, or upset. Like someone pushing you or touching your privet parts. I asked if someone could give me an example of a bad touch. The conversation went like this:
girl: "miss! a bad touch is if you're touched by a ghost!"
boy: "or a monster!"
girl: "miss! I dreamed about a ghost and it touched me!"
boy: "miss! I dreamed about race cars!"
In conclusion pre school is too young for the good touch bad touch conversation.
