Question

Difference between Good and Bad touch

Answer 1

Good Touch – It feels, pleasant and good, it is a way to show care, love and help. Explain with the help of examples like when mommy hugs you or papa gives you a goodnight kiss or your grandparents hold you in their arms and you hold your friend’s hands while playing.

Bad Touch – Touches that make you uncomfortable and you feel unpleasant and you want to stop it there and then.
Again, use some examples to explain them like, it is a bad touch if you feel hurt, if you do not want to be touched, if someone touches your private parts without a reason, if someone touches you and tells you not to tell anyone, all these are examples of a bad touch.



Good" touch and "bad" touch are words most commonly used to explain to children what touch is and isn't okay, and help them understand what situations they should tell a safe person about and ask for help, and how they should treat other people. For children, "good" touch is touch that cares for them, that is necessary for their health or safety, or makes them feel safe, or is fun. "Bad" touch is any touch that they don't want or makes them feel scared, or any secret touch, or any touch on their genitals or bottom, unless it's necessary for their health. For children playing together, a good rule is: if the other person isn't having fun, you have to stop.

Some examples of "good" touch: a relative offering a child a hug, and the child happily accepts; a parent or guardian changing a baby's dirty nappy/diaper and cleaning the baby; a child sitting on a parent's lap while they read a story together; a doctor gently caring for a child's injury, and talking to the child, even though the child is upset and it hurts; children playing together being a bit rough but not dangerous and they're both having fun.

Some examples of "bad" touch: anyone touches a child's genitals if they're not doing something necessary for the child's health; anyone touches a child and asks them to keep it secret; a child has to hug a relative even though the child feels scared; two children playing together, one of them gets hurt or isn't having fun any more and the other one doesn't stop.
