I tell the kids if you don't like, if
you're not comfortable, if you get
scared if you're frightened by this or
if you don't want just say stop and I'll
stop that second.
And they they actually the last couple
of years the kids started really became
funny. I do it the kids say stop, stop
and I think it's great cuz it's giving
them agency.
But but what it's telling the children
is that even
someone we I know you love me and I I I
get all that but if you don't like it
just say stop and I and I and I'll stop
right away. Probably should be avoided
in general but especially the children
need to know they can say no, I don't
like you tickling me no matter even if
they're very young.
>> My daughter my daughter will tell me
that I can't kiss the grandkids without
permission.
So
or they say about tickling or anything
else, I tell them this is a great
opportunity to support what the children
are learning. The reason the child
safety education is effective because
they're told that they have agency and
they can speak up and if you give them a
slobbery kiss and they don't like it and
they come to their mother and the mother
um can't get you to stop
you're training you're you're undoing
all the critical child safety
information that that the children need.
This is what they're told currently.
They weren't told that we weren't told
this when we were kids
and you know, look what happened
to to so many people.
But in today's day and age we're living
in different times.
We're teaching our kids different
messages and it's important that people
understand it. But if we teach our
children that they have the right to
decide for their own body or their own
feelings, you know, the book we spoke
about, you know, Rabbi Horowitz many
many years ago Uncle Willy Tickles.
Right?
