Rest and Sleep

Sleep is very important for our body to rest and restore its energy. Our body repairs

its worn-out cells and tissues, and relaxes when we sleep. Therefore, eight hours of
adequate sleep is important to stay healthy and energised. Not getting enough sleep
can affect our health and well-being.

Good Touch and Bad Touch

A touch that makes us feel safe, loved and cared for is a good

touch. A hug from parents, a pat on the back from a teacher
for doing good work, a doctor checking us when parents are
around are examples of good touches. A good touch always

makes us feel happy, comfortable and secure. teacher hugging a child

A bad touch is something that makes us feel uncomfortable,
scared or confused. It may happen when someone touches

us in a way we don’t like or asks us to keep it a secret. For
example, someone touching private parts of our body, a

touch that makes us feel hurt or uneasy, someone asking
us to hug or kiss when we don’t want to are all bad touches.

Bad touches make us feel unsafe, nervous or unhappy. We can respond to bad touches
by saying ‘no’ loudly and moving away from the person, and by not keeping it a secret
and informing parents, teachers or another trusted adult immediately.

We should remember that it is never a child’s fault when someone touches them rudely

or in an inappropriate way.
