It’s Private! – A Rhyme for Kids to Learn about Privacy (Ages 3–8)

Not sure how to talk to your child about body safety, privacy, or boundaries?

It’s Private! is a simple, age-appropriate rhyme that helps you start these important conversations—gently, naturally, and without awkwardness. Created to help parents introduce body safety early, this book gives children the language and confidence to understand what’s private—and what’s not.

Why starting early matters

• Young children don’t instinctively understand personal boundaries
• Many parents struggle with how to explain these concepts
• Early awareness can help children recognise and respond to unsafe situations

This book makes that first step easier—for both you and your child.

Through a simple, engaging rhyme, your child will learn:

✔ Some body parts are private and shouldn’t be touched/seen by others except in specific situations 
✔ Certain areas in a home are also private and entering these areas needs permission 
✔ That some spaces and situations require permission
✔ The importance of using correct names (without shame or embarrassment)

What makes It’s Private! effective

✔ Written as a fun, memorable rhyme children enjoy
✔ Designed to introduce sensitive topics in a gentle, non-threatening way
✔ Includes discussion questions to help parents guide conversations
✔ Comes with a detailed reader’s guide for deeper engagement

Recommended for: Self-reading age: 5–8 years | Read-aloud age: 3+ years

Ideal for first conversations about privacy and body boundaries at home. Used by parents, educators, and counsellors.
