What is consent anyway and when do I have to ask for it?

This is an important conversation to have with your child early and often. You can help them listen for and give clear consent. You can also help them know what to expect from the other grown-ups in their life and what to do to be safe and happy.
"Consent? What is That Anyway?" is a children's SEL (social-emotional learning) story about asking for and listening for consent from others. It will help your little ones understand what to do and who to go to for help. It also addresses when adults should ask for consent.
