32 - How to listen when people say stop - Level One




Six Minute Sex Ed show

Summary: Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps families talk about sex and relationships, hosted by Sex Education teacher, Kim Cavill: https://www.teaandintimacy.com/ This week’s episode is level one, which means it’s great for listeners of any age, and we’re going to talk about how to listen when people say stop. Kim introduces the concept of boundaries with a story about a kid named Harper, who is tickled when she doesn’t want to be. When someone says “Stop”, they should be listened to. They shouldn’t have to repeat it over and over again to be heard. Saying Stop is one way of making a boundary. A boundary is another word for limit: the difference between what is allowed and what is not, what is comfortable and what is uncomfortable, or what is safe and what is unsafe. People shouldn’t have to set boundaries or say “stop” more than once.

What words do you use to tell other people about your boundaries or limits? 2. How does your body show it’s saying no, or stop?
