Learning About Consent and Boundaries - For Elementary Students

In this video, we introduce elementary students to the important concepts of boundaries and consent in a simple, age-appropriate way. Using relatable examples and friendly scenarios, we teach kids how to recognize and respect personal boundaries, how to ask for consent, and why it’s important to say “No” when they’re not comfortable.

At Safe At Home, we are committed to fostering environments where every child feels safe and respected. In this video, we help children understand that it's okay to say "No," how to respect others’ space, and why asking first matters.

Key Takeaways:
• What Are Boundaries? – Learn that everyone has invisible lines that make them feel safe and comfortable.
• What Is Consent? – Understand the importance of asking for permission and listening to the answer.
• Respecting Personal Space – Discover how simple actions like asking for a hug can make a big difference in respecting others.
• Saying “No” Is Okay – Help kids understand that it's perfectly fine to say "No" and that their feelings matter.

Resources & Support:
If you or someone you know needs guidance on how to navigate consent or boundaries, please reach out to a trusted adult or professional. Together, we can create a world where every child feels safe, supported, and heard.

Joe Torre, together with his wife Ali, started the Safe At Home Foundation in 2002 with the goal of helping children impacted by trauma find comfort, healing, and support. Through our groundbreaking Margaret’s Place initiative, we create safe spaces inside schools for empowerment, education, and understanding.

With education as our foundation, both in schools and beyond, we strengthen every person’s courage, knowledge, and resilience through tools, resources, and capacity building. We teach children, families, and communities to be the change, embracing the shared responsibility of care and respect.

As we learn, grow, and help each other thrive, we’re cultivating a new generation of healthy, respectful relationships. We’re safer and braver, together.
