Next week, G5 students will be participating in a number of lessons concerning Child Protection. Over the course of 3 lessons, the following topics will be discussed:

• Assertive Communication

• The Touching Rule – No one should touch your private parts except to keep you clean and healthy

• Safety Steps:

  • Say words that mean No

  • Get away

  • Tell an adult

• Using Assertiveness Skills in Unsafe Situations

• When and Whom to Tell

We will also review what we have already learned about online safety and discuss this from a child protection perspective.

Further blog posts will be made on the day of each lesson with more specific details as to what was covered in the lesson so that you can have conversations at home with your children.  We appreciate you speaking further with your children about this topic. It is important that we partner in teaching these important lessons to the children.

If you have further questions, please contact Jill Wagner, our counselor, at jwagner@zis.ch, as she will be leading most of these lessons.
