Teaching consent to toddlers: 'I'm happy we're starting to have this conversation' | Australian books


Illustrated in her bright, electric style, How to Say Hello offers children a variety of greetings to choose from, from fist bumps to smiles; from special dances to peeks out from between a parent’s legs. Ultimately, she writes, “there are so many ways to say hello!” with the book delivering an inclusive message of empowerment about making your own choices, and respecting those of others.

Board books on bodily autonomy and consent aren’t common – but when it comes to picture books, Beer recommends Emily Neilson’s Can I Give You a Squish (“gorgeous and playful”) and Sharee Miller’s Don’t Touch My Hair! As children grow older and more curious, there are even more resources, including the “wonderful” Welcome to Consent! by Yumi Stynes and Dr Melissa Kang.
