For a number of compelling reasons, our parents and teachers always taught us about topics such as “good touch and bad touch.” This kind of education serves as the cornerstone for child safety and protection. That’s why many schools in India have now officially put it into the syllabus officially. In many schools, children are given the awareness to differentiate between suitable and inappropriate physical touch.
Physical contact that is suitable, reassuring, and safe is referred to as good touch. Examples include handshakes, pats on the back, and hugs from family members. Bad touch, on the other hand, refers to any type of physical contact that causes a youngster to feel uneasy, afraid or violated. From insensitive tickling to more serious abuse, it can take many different forms.

This education, related to differences between both kinds of touches, enables kids to identify and express discomfort. Not only this, but it also becomes the guardian’s vital tool for early intervention in suspected abuse instances. Additionally, it encourages open conversation between kids, instructors, and parents, shattering the taboo of talking about child safety in public. It supports children’s holistic development while acknowledging the moral and legal responsibilities of schools in guaranteeing the well-being of pupils.
Recently, a teacher giving lessons on good touch and bad touch has gone viral on the Internet and left many impressed.
