The Talking About Touching program uses time-honored, developmentally appropriate teaching techniques to help children learn safety skills. These include refusing and reporting unsafe touches but also encompass basic safety skills (such as for cars, bikes, and fire) and the Always Ask First Rule.

The Pre/K kit introduces children to Joey, who learns the touching rule in an engaging DVD, and to lessons such as “Learning Traffic Safety,” “Getting Found,” and “Getting and Giving Safe Touches.” The fully scripted photo-lesson cards encourage interactive learning and discussion, while the Take-Home letters introduce parents to the skills their children are learning.
