Super Tool 1: Your Body Safety
Your body belongs to you. It is your number one treasure. You must protect it. Your first super tool is body safety rules. Remember the "No, Go, Tell" rule. Say "NO" loudly if you feel uncomfortable. "GO" away from the person or place fast. "TELL" a trusted adult what happened. Always listen to your inner feeling. It is your gut feeling. If something feels wrong, it probably is. Your body safety keeps you "safe and sound". Let's see this tool in action.

This clear vision keeps you "safe and sound" outside. It helps you see all the risks. Let's practice with our sentences.

People are all around you. Most are kind. But sometimes you meet a bully. You need a social safety compass. This compass points to kindness and respect. It also points away from trouble. Be a buddy, not a bully. Stand up for others. Include everyone in play. If someone is mean to you, use your voice. Say, "Stop. I do not like that." Walk away with confidence. Tell a trusted adult. A bully wants you to feel small and alone. Do not let them. Your friends and adults can help. Your compass leads you to kind people. It keeps your heart "safe and sound".
