Description:
The workshop on ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’ was organized by St. Karen’s High School on 7th May 2022. It was conducted by Miss Vidyawati with the objectives of spreading awareness and educating children about good touch and bad touch. All the students of Std. 2, 3,4 and 5 participated in the workshop.
The children learnt to identify the ‘No touch” areas.
They also learnt to handle strangers and say ‘No’ to unwanted touches by running away and shouting out loud or to run in a crowded place and always informing their parents about their unpleasant experience. They were asked to memorize the contact number of their parents and also the Child Helpline- 1098. They were also taught how to ask for help when they are in danger by doing an action. The workshop was very informative and fruitful for the students.
The students understood the concept about safe/unsafe touch which was explained to them in simplified manner by showing an animated movie ‘KOMAL’
All of us want our children to be safe. We want to protect them against all odds. So, it becomes our responsibility to sensitize them, equip them so that they are ready to face and handle an odd situation or person coming their way. We should have these types of workshops in our school.
