 The P.S.
It’s My Body curriculum is a graduated personal safety program for
children Pre-K through Middle School as well as their parents, caregivers

appropriate responses to a child’s outcry.

susceptibility to abuse. All activities are designed to reinforce the three
R’s (Recognize, Resist, Report) by integrating a variety of
experiences to increase children’s knowledge and skill retention.

adults, personal safety boundaries, the importance of helping others,
resistance skills to deal will bullies and other important issues children
face every day.
