Have you ever struggled with teaching your students to be assertive and wrestled with exactly how to tackle a tough topic like CONSENT on an age-appropriate level? Don't Hug Doug (He Doesn't Like It) is the PERFECT book for you!
Do we need to be teaching little ones about CONSENT and setting boundaries? Yep! The younger we introduce and teach them to protect themselves, the safer they are. This book is a natural springboard to follow up conversations involving good touch/bad touch. All children need to know that THEY have control and autonomy of their bodies and Doug, who oozes self-confidence, shows exactly how to do it.
Love the art work!
Although I didn't show many of the pages, Doug does tell us who he allows to hug him and why.
Just ask! So simple. Can easily be practiced right then and there!
I found this book at Barnes & Noble and am so glad I did. It's a really fun book...not preachy at all. The "lesson" doesn't overpower the story. It's presented so matter-of-factly which is appreciated. I hope you love this book and find it as valuable as I do!
EDITED on July 26th, 2021:
Just added a TpT product to support this wonderful book!
I'm so looking forward to sharing this book and these activities with my class in September when I go back. Here's the preview of all included:
