What I Told 9-year Old Students About Body Safety, Secrets and Trust

This was a big moment for me.It was the first time I’d ever been invited to speak to Year 5 students—children just 9 and 10 years old. And I won’t lie… I was nervous.This session is about body safety, the importance of speaking up, and how to recognise when something doesn’t feel right. I speak honestly, but gently—because young children deserve to be informed and protected without being overwhelmed.This isn’t just a lesson—it’s the conversation I wish someone had with me at that age.👉 If you're a parent, teacher or professional working with children, I hope this gives you ideas and confidence to keep these conversations going.📌 Topics covered:- Body boundaries and personal space- The difference between safe and unsafe touch- Secrets vs surprises- Why trust and speaking up matters📺 Prefer to watch with visuals?This video includes slides and graphics designed to help young children understand and stay engaged.▶️ Watch on desktop or full screen for the best experience.👇 Let me know your thoughts belowAnd don’t forget to subscribe for more talks, real stories, and resources that protect and empower children.Mailing list sign up link - https://mailchi.mp/9a1acfd96e25/somethingtosayopt-inBook me for your school - https://jeremyindika.com/speaker-event/Below are my linksWebsite: https://jeremyindika.comPodcast: https://shows.acast.com/the-something-to-say-podcastSomething to Say: https://somethingtosayofficial.comTo supportMerchandise: https://somethingtosayofficial.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SomethingtoSayDonate: https://jeremyindika.com/donate/Social mediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyindika/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeremyindika1Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyindikaX: https://x.com/jeremyindikaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-indika-31673573/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyIndikaPodcast: https://shows.acast.com/the-something-to-say-podcastSomething to Say linksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somethingtosayofficial/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/somethingtosayofficial1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/something-to-say1TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@somethingtosayofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SomethingtoSayofficialPodcast: https://shows.acast.com/the-something-to-say-podcast-1 Hosted on Acast.
