Hello Board

The Hello Board

Through Shams's story, children discover that their bodies belong to them and that they can choose how to greet and interact with others without pressure or force. Everyone has their own way of saying hello.

The story encourages respect for personal boundaries, confidence and independence. It opens conversations about protecting one's body, saying no when uncomfortable and expressing boundaries clearly. A resource for building a home or school environment where children's feelings are respected and they feel safe.
