Contact protection
Okay kiddo, imagine you have a special toy that you really love and you don't want anyone else to touch it. You might decide to put it in a box, and then put that box in a locked drawer so that nobody can get to it without your permission. That's kind of like contact protection!
Now, imagine that your friend comes over and sees your toy. They really want to play with it too, but they know it's special to you. So they ask you nicely if it's okay that they play with it too, and you say yes! Now you can both share the toy and play together happily. That's what happens when you use contact protection in a respectful and responsible way.
Contact protection is a way to set boundaries and protect personal space and belongings, like your toy or your body. It's important to always ask before touching or using someone else's things, and to understand and respect their answer. And remember, you always have the right to say "no" and protect yourself if someone is making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
