“Inappropriate touches are any time someone touches your private parts in a way that makes you feel confused, sad, or uncomfortable,” she says. “You can tell your child that if someone puts their hand under your shirt or in your pants, that is unsafe.”
Bad touch is any touch that makes a child feel uncomfortable, afraid or nervous. Examples include hitting or inappropriate touching of a child's body. Abuse, and in particular sexual abuse, is a difficult topic to discuss.
Inappropriate touching, or inappropriate contact, is often used to describe contact that is: Unwanted sexual intercourse or other sexual acts. Unwanted touching of intimate areas of another's body, such as the breasts or buttocks. Unwanted touching of non-intimate areas of another's body, depending on the circumstances.
Teach them the difference between good and bad touch.
Highlight what appropriate touching is – such as hugging Grandma or Dad giving baby a bath. Make sure to also use scenarios for inappropriate touching such as their friend's brother wanting to see what is in their pants.
Examples you can give include hugging, holding hands, or a parent changing a baby's diaper. A bad touch can be explained as the kind you don't like and would want to stop right away, such as hitting, kicking or touching private parts.
Inappropriate content includes information or images that upset your child, material that's directed at adults, inaccurate information or information that might lead or tempt your child into unlawful or dangerous behaviour. This could be: Pornographic material. Content containing swearing.
Sexual Touching is an offence in NSW under section 61KC of the Crimes Act. The sexual touching offence has replaced the previous offence of Indecent Assault as of 1 December 2018. The offence carries a maximum penalty of 5 years full time imprisonment.
Aggressive or abusive behaviour, such as shouting or personal insults. Spreading malicious rumours or gossip, or insulting someone.
These are touches that hurt children's bodies or feelings (for example, hitting, pushing, pinching, kicking, or someone inappropriately touching their private body parts). Teach children that these kinds of touches are not okay.
Talk about “safe” and “unsafe” touching rather than “good” or “bad” touching. This removes guilt from the child, and keeps them from having to make a moral distinction about what is and is not appropriate. Use age-appropriate wording. You can discuss body safety without discussing sexuality.
Experts say that a child can be taught about it as early as 2 years of age when they can start identifying the parts of their body. By the age of 5 years, the child should be able to understand good and bad touch in a comprehensive manner.
Remind children that certain body parts have special rules, that no one else should be touching their genitals (with a couple of specific exceptions) and that they shouldn't be touching anyone else's genitals.
Disruptive and Inappropriate Behaviors

This is a very common phenomenon at this age and totally normal. Your son is exploring and learning about his body, and he is telling you what he thinks about it! This is a good thing. You want to make sure he has a positive body image, so how you deal this interaction is very important.
Hitting, isolating, humiliating, belittling, depriving children of food or drink, negative labelling, blaming and shaming.
An unsafe behavior is any act or behavior that deviates from a generally recognized safe way or specified method of doing a job and which increases the probabilities of an accident. Examples of unsafe behaviors in an industrial setting include: Lack of/improper use of PPE.
