Welcome to Consent by Yumi Stynes & Melissa Kang is a fun, educational book for teens and their parents.  Topics include: 
✔️Understanding consent ✔️Being in a relationship when I grow up ✔️How to Talk about consent✔️Visiting the doctor ✔️When and How to Say No. 

It is not just important but essential for parents to educate their children and young people about the meaning of consent to safeguard them against sexual coercion, harassment, and assault. Deanne Carson, a renowned Australian sexuality educator, researcher, speaker, and author, emphasises that teaching young children about consent can be achieved through simple everyday actions. For instance, parents can begin by seeking their child's consent before kissing them, reminding them to ask for permission before hugging or kissing another child, or respecting their decision when they decline affection from a relative. While this approach might surprise some parents, it fosters a "culture of consent" within households and reinforces children's right to bodily autonomy from an early age.
